HC Deb 22 November 1976 vol 919 c822W
Mr. Dykes

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when he next plans to hold discussions with the petroleum industry's producers and retailers on the effects of the latest petrol price increases on the retail price index.

Dr. J. Dickson Mabon

My right hon. Friend and I have no plans to discuss this subject with petrol suppliers. Oil price increases are subject to the Price Code which also controls profit margins
