HC Deb 27 March 1973 vol 853 c300W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what tax reference price he intends to fix for oil extracted from the Scottish Continental Shelf.

Mr. Nott

My right hon. Friend has under consideration matters relating to the computation of taxable profits from oil production on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf, but it is too soon to be specific about tax reference prices.
