HC Deb 02 May 1956 vol 552 c365
2. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made in drilling for oil in Jamaica; and with what results.

Mr. Hare

A well was drilled in 1955 without discovering oil, but the Jamaican Stanolind Oil Company have now embarked, on the strength of the earlier drilling, on a $2 million exploration programme during the next two years.
