Fuel prices
According to a press release:
We've heard repeated calls from MacNeil for investigations by the OFT into the petrol retailers, which he now acknowledges - after two OFT investigations - to have been targeted against the wrong parties.
But as Donald Crichton has asked, why has it taken this long for him to recognise the facts?
Mr MacNeil added his voice to the call for action on Wednesday, saying: “I have seen the books of some of the fuel retailers in the western isles and there is a big opaque hole around the distribution costs between refineries and pump prices." (My emphasis)This isn't news, but the faux surprise in the tone is more about electioneering than about achieving anything.
