HC Deb 23 March 1981 vol 1 cc211-2W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list, in order of the value of contracts won for work on the United Kingdom continental shelf, the top 10 offshore contractors.

Mr. Gray

The purpose of the information given in the individual returns supplied by each operator under the voluntary arrangement agreed with the United Kingdom Offshore Operators Association is to monitor the flow of orders in respect of United Kingdom continental shelf activity and the share of orders gained within the United Kingdom. It is not intended to provide a ranking list of suppliers and no such records are kept.
