HC Deb 08 May 1980 vol 984 cc185-6W
Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what representation he has made to the EEC Commission, or to the Governments of other EEC countries, about unfair competition arising from differences in fuel price policy.

Mr. Parkinson

[pursuant to his reply, 6 May 1980, c. 9]: The Government are strongly opposed to all forms of unfair competition and this view is well known to the European Community Commission and to other EEC Governments. Where differences in fuel price policy lead to unfairness I am ready to consider appropriate action with our Community partners.
