HC Deb 15 April 1975 vol 890 cc69-70W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what proportion of North Sea oil he proposes should be refined in the United Kingdom; and what percentage of the crude oil should be made available for export on the assumption of 1980 production figures.

Mr. John Smith

My right hon. Friend announced on 6th December last that it was reasonable to expect that up to two-thirds of North Sea oil would be refined here, depending on the level of production.
