HC Deb 31 January 1955 vol 536 c695
51. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what quantities of Abadan oil have so far arrived in the United Kingdom; and what revised estimate he has made of the tonnage of Abadan oil now expected for United Kingdom consumption in each of the years 1955, 1956 and 1957.

Mr. Joynson-Hicks

15,200 tons of crude oil since the new Agreement came into force. For the reasons given by my right hon. Friend in reply to my hon. Friend's Question on 8th November last, the future consumption of Abadan oil in the United Kingdom cannot be estimated.
