CRUDE OIL PRICES

Early day motion 1461, tabled 23 June 1998 by Harry Barnes (Labour). Signed by 33 members.

That this House notes that crude oil prices have dropped 32 per cent. so far this year; and believes that such reductions should be reflected in lower prices for consumers rather than higher profits for the oil companies.
