On Thursday I will be leading a debate in the House of Commons on petrol prices and the UK oil market.
Pressure is now growing on the Office of Fair Trading and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to launch a full investigation.
During my fight with PetrolPromise.com for lower fuel taxes I have highlighted the situation regarding fuel prices in Harlow.
Petrol prices in Harlow are always 5p more expensive than in other nearby towns such as Stevenage, Chelmsford, and elsewhere and the Government should do a full investigation.
My Motion calling on the Office for Fair Trading and FSA to launch a full investigation into oil firms active in the UK, and calling on the Government to consider emergency steps being taken in other G20 countries to reduce fuel prices, has been signed by 70 MPs of all parties.
The main purpose of the debate is to urge the OFT, and the FSA, to launch a full enquiry as soon as possible - and then to take action to help keep petrol prices down.

Perhaps the oil companies are using fuel prices to attempt the Corporate Ethnic Cleansing ( economic cleansing ) of low income people from the areas with the highest pump prices, this principle perhaps particularly applies to rural areas ?
