Mr. Battle: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will express in real terms, and where the year of privatisation equals 100,
the utility component of the retail prices index including VAT in (a) the latest available period and (b) 1979 for (i) gas prices,
(ii) electricity prices, (iii) electricity and gas prices, (iv) water prices and (v) electricity, gas and water prices. [5302]
Mr. Jack: [holding answer 25 November 1996]: The information requested is given in the table. As the table shows, even including the
introduction of VAT for electricity and gas, prices have rise more slowly than overall retail prices since privatisation. Water
price changes reflect the large-scale capital investment and environmental programmes, to which the privatised utilities are
committed.

in (i) house prices and (ii) general inflation over the same period. [6122]
Mr. Curry: Available information is given in the tables. As rents registered by rent officers are typically re-registered every two
years, percentage changes in respect of house prices and the retail prices index have also been quoted over a two-year period.

Mr. Galbraith: To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received concerning the recent increase in
petrol prices; and if he will make a statement. [6393]
Mr. Page: I have received a number of representations regarding those increases in petrol prices that pre-dated the increase in duty
in the Budget. Those were due to a slackening in the intense price competition of earlier this year, coupled with increases in
international oil prices.
Gross margins have, however, still not recovered to the levels of 1995.

Mr. French: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the European Fisheries Council
held in Brussels on 22 November. [6636]
Mr. Baldry: I represented the United Kingdom at the meeting of the Fisheries Council in Brussels on 22 November together with my
hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State at the Scottish Office and my noble Friend the Under-Secretary of State at the Northern
Ireland Office.
I again made it clear that the UK could not contemplate significant further reductions in its fleet without the issue of quota
hoppers being resolved. I also reiterated the need for our performance under MAGP III to be correctly assessed and presented.
Following its inconclusive debate in October on the Commission's multi-annual guidance proposals--MAGP IV--the Council considered a
Presidency compromise aimed at meeting the concerns expressed by member states. Most felt that the compromise provided a basis for
further work, but that considerable analysis and discussion would be needed before conclusions could be drawn.
The Council concluded that work on the presidency compromise would continue with a view to reaching a decision before the end of the
year if possible.
On satellite monitoring, I supported the constructive approach taken by the Presidency in producing a text which addressed our key
concerns, in particular in exempting smaller vessels operating within 12 miles of the coast. I also put to the Council a suggestion
from industry for synchronising implementation with new rules by the International Maritime Organisation relating to the global
maritime distress and safety system; and I emphasised the need to use the advent of satellite monitoring to reduce the existing
regulatory burden. Several member states continued to have difficulties on a variety of points and the Presidency concluded that the
Council would have to return to the issue at a later date.
The Council unanimously adopted fish prices for 1997.
The Commission also presented a report on the monitoring of third country vessels in Community waters which the Council noted.
