Will my hon. Friend note that certain garages in the West Country that were operating with a gross profit per gallon of 11·77p 12 months ago are now operating with a gross profit of 5·7p and that that figure is likely to be reduced to 3p because of pressure from the major oil companies? Will my hon. Friend give the House two further assurances? First, will he have words with his right hon. Friend the Minister for Consumer Affairs who, I believe, has been approached on this matter from the consumer point of view? Secondly, will he, once again, look at supplies to rural areas, where rural petrol stations are very much at risk from any pressure from the major oil companies?
