HC Deb 08 November 2000 vol 356 c257W
10. Mr. Viggers

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what discussions he has held with the Chancellor of the Exchequer about petrol prices in Northern Ireland. [135606]

Mr. Howarth

As the hon. Gentleman is well aware discussions between the Chancellor and Ministers on such matters, for obvious reasons, are confidential.

However, if the hon. Gentleman exercises a little patience, he may hear some more on this subject from my right hon. Friend the Chancellor.
