86. Mr. CHARLES EDWARDS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what percentage of the oil purchased for naval purposes in the last financial year was produced in this country and what percentage was imported from abroad; from what countries the latter amount was imported; and how much was imported from each of such countries?

If the hon. Member refers to fuel oil, the whole of the oil purchased for naval purposes in the last financial year was produced abroad. I regret that it is not in the public interest to give the further details requested.
