Gordon Brown: 'We've had some success in getting the price of oil down'
Gordon Brown has called for the recent falls in the price of oil to be passed on to UK consumers.
The price of oil has plummeted - from a high of $147 a barrel for US light crude this summer to $82.24 at midday on Friday.
The prime minister said: "I want these price cuts passed onto the consumer, and passed on as quickly as possible."
Peter Mandelson says it is 'third time lucky'
The national interest must come before party politics, the prime minister has said of his controversial appointment of Peter Mandelson to the cabinet.
Mr Mandelson, considered divisive by many Labour MPs, was drafted back to the cabinet for an unprecedented third time in a major cabinet reshuffle.
Gordon Brown said he wanted the best talent to tackle the economic crisis.
But some MPs have not welcomed Mr Mandelson's return - one cabinet member is thought to have tried to prevent it.
