Vol. 185 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Retail Price of Petrol.

27.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce what was the increase in the retail price of petrol as a result of the Suez crisis; and whether this increase has now been deducted in full from the present price.

The increase in the retail price of petrol during the Suez crisis and its aftermath was 5d. per gallon but I am not aware if this increase was wholly attributable to the crisis. Owing to the price fluctuations since then I am not in a position to answer the second part of the question.

I thought Suez had no effect, according to Fianna Fáil.
