I e-mailed UKLPG through www.drivelpg.co.uk the independent consumer guide to LPG autogas in the UK, and asked him if he knew of any directive but he didn't mention it in his reply, but htis is what he wrote:-

Hello Kathy

Thank you for your enquiry

There are a number of issues to bear in mind:

There are different global markets for LPG and oil and there is not a direct link between the raw material price of these fuels. Thus LPG prices will move at different times and by different amounts to oil.
LPG prices at the pumps have never been as volatile as petrol / diesel. This is because the autogas market is only 12% of the LPG market in the UK which in the main is influenced by more stable gas and electricity prices. Therefore gas supply companies even out the price - sometimes making and sometimes losing. Their pricing is there own commercial decision
Over the years autogas has averaged around half the price of petrol and diesel at the pumps and this has been sufficient to sustain the market. At times it has been below half price and at times it has been above (as now)
Because of the increase in fuel prices, the 40% reduction in fuel costs is actually worth a lot more in £'s than it was a year ago, so even if under 40% it is still saving the LPG motorist more money than last year.
There is a wide variation in regional LPG prices, as there is for petrol / diesel. www.petrol prices.com gives national average figures. At the end of last week theses were:
Avg.
Min.
Max.

Unleaded:
105.2p
99.9p
121.9p

Diesel:
116.7p
109.9p
134.9p

LRP:
110.9p
106.9p
118.9p

Super:
112.6p
102.9p
129.9p

LPG:
57.5p
49.9p
63.9p






I hope that the above gives you a clearer picture of things and that LPG will continue to provide you with chaep and greener motoring

49ppl at Asda derby

Votes from the Inverness Jury....

Still bliddy 62.9ppl at Strathpeffer Road Dingwall and 61.9ppl Tore. RIppers...

62.9 comp with 97.9 for petrol (64%) - still good but doesn't give me the warm glow it used to.

Another 3p off at Morrisons Livingston.

Now 49.9p
