Woods MeganJONATHAN YOUNG (National—New Plymouth): Look Madam Chair before I come to my question to the Minister in the chair the Hon Megan Woods can I just express my appreciation for your service in this House—CHAIRPERSON (Hon Ruth Dyson): Thank you.JONATHAN YOUNG: —for 26 years and also your role as Assistant Speaker and obviously Chair of the committee tonight. We will miss you from this place.My question to the Minister is one which has been raised from one of the fuel companies and perhaps the Minister can give us illumination on how the Government of the day would address this and that is around the expectation requirements of this bill for retail outlets to have full signage of prices of their different fuels whether that's 91 diesel 95 98 or whatever it might be and if a fuel company is providing what is called a truckstop" where the customers who pull into a truckstop are actually commercial customers that often will have a fuel card will often have negotiated prices and so what is on the price board may not be relevant. The concern that I think was expressed was that this would make it look like a normal retail outlet and the concern would be that it's actually not designed for that. Is there provision for some exclusion from those requirements? Because as one fuel company said to me for them to go through and put all the complete list of fuel prices—and in this case it was the premium fuel prices—on all of their signboards over the country it was going to be $1 million and that—just that—is going to be a cost to business that will get passed on to consumers to motorists.Andrew Bayly: Does that mean a higher price for fuel?JONATHAN YOUNG: That means a higher price for fuel it does. Or else what it means is lower margins and less participants in the market which means a higher price for fuel whichever way you look at it.So look what I'd just like for the Minister to be able to respond to is: is there capacity for exclusions that would enable those customers who are contracted who have contract prices and whatever's on the board is not what they pay anyway to be able to be excluded from the cost of that which can be quite substantial? Thank you very much.CHAIRPERSON (Hon Ruth Dyson): Another question?Tim van de Molen: We've been going for 20 minutes Minister and you haven't answered a single question. If you're not interested in engaging then we'll finish.Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Energy and Resources): I'm pleased to be able to take a call on some of the questions that I'm more than willing to engage with. I think the question has been put to the committee around the spot prices and whether there will be demand from players. Yes we know the likes of Gull. We know the likes of Timaru Oil Services. What we do know in terms of the spread of pricing around the country and what we have seen of this—I know that there is a lot of talk often from the Opposition about the impact of the Auckland fuel price but as a South Islander I am very keenly aware that actually even with regional fuel taxes we pay higher prices for petrol in the South Island than you do in the North Island.So what we are looking to is new market entrants to be able to enter the market and this what this piece of legislation will allow. So that is an important part of it.I will address some of the further questions in subsequent calls.Parts 1 to 3 Schedule 1 and clauses 1 and 2 agreed to.House resumed.The Chairperson reported the Fuel Industry Bill without amendment.Report adopted."
