Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 24 November 2011.


Transport: Fuel Prices

Question
My Lords, given that the 10p excess which is often charged by motorway service stations is a very high fraction of the actual cost of the fuel, and that the companies are therefore getting a much greater return than elsewhere, should the Government not look at this matter as an issue of urgency?
Answer

As I think the noble Lord knows, the Government cannot intervene where the Office of Fair Trading should be acting.
