§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he has had any recent discussions with oil companies about the extent to which the effect on costs of the recent fall in crude oil prices is being passed on to consumers of refined products and, in particular, of aviation fuel; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithMy Department keeps in regular contact with the oil companies; I hope that oil product prices will continue to fall to reflect the falls in crude oil prices.
