That this House condemns the disgraceful behaviour of Mr J Mole who owns a number of petrol stations in the North-West and sells petrol at ú4.55 per gallon, in comparison with other retailers who are charging ú2.70 per gallon; notes that he mislead motorists about his prices and exploited loopholes in the law concerning the advertisement of petrol prices; and therefore calls upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the President of the Board of Trade to bring forward legislation immediately to stop this despicable practice and to ensure motorists are properly informed about the sale price of petrol.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
