Proceeding contribution from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Department of Energy and Climate Change.


Department of Energy and Climate Change

My constituents will welcome this statement and, in particular, the action that the Secretary of State is taking against energy companies. Has he considered similar action against the petrol companies? Petrol prices were $147 a barrel, and the price was rising almost every day, but it has now fallen. Apart from at Asda and Tesco, however, pump prices remain high, despite the fact that oil prices have almost halved.
