Oil company supply to retailers
Members raised reports that an oil company had ended diesel supplies to some retailers while keeping petrol contracts, potentially forcing customers to pay more. The Minister said the matter was outside the fishermen’s question and covered by other questions on the Order Paper.
Is the Minister aware that one company have terminated their supplies to their retailers and that these customers will not be taken over by other companies? In such cases those customers will not get supplies unless they pay 50 to 60 per cent extra for their diesel, and that has happened.

Is the Minister aware that a certain company—I believe they are the company he referred to earlier—told some of their retailers that they will not supply any further diesel in future but will insist on continuing their contract in regard to the supply of petrol and not release them totally to other companies?
