Proceeding contribution from Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 February 2012. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Agricultural Policy.


Agricultural Policy

Briefly, in the remaining time, I want to say that one of my points has been lost in the mix. There is a company called GB Oils, which I name using parliamentary privilege, that has had an impact on rural petrol retailers, forecourts and fuel heating. The company has been repeatedly in court, repeatedly found guilty and repeatedly investigated by trading standards. Will the Minister meet petrol retailers and me to talk about the moot practices of that particular company, which owns more than 40 companies in the UK and supposedly trades independently but effectively holds a cartel and uses dark practices?
