A network of 13 outlets for the sale of unleaded petrol has been established in the past year by two of the largest distributors. An expansion of the network is, I understand, planned for early in the New Year to cater in particular for the demands of motoring tourists from continental Europe. The network should provide the basis for compliance with the terms of the relevant EC directive which requires the availability and balanced distribution of unleaded petrol by October 1989.
