HC Deb 14 January 1987 vol 108 c244W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will have urgent discussions with major oil companies to establish the reason for the increase in prices of fuel at the pumps at stations throughout Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Oil product prices are not set by Government. They are a matter for the oil companies and reflect the cost of supplies and the level of competition in the market.
