HC Deb 09 February 1983 vol 36 c362W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the value of revenues arising from taxation of oil and gas production from the Scottish sector of the North sea.

Mr. Wakeham

The United Kingdom continental shelf is not divided into sectors. It would in any case be impracticable to allocate North sea revenues to any particular geographical area. The most recently published estimate of North sea revenues appears in the 1982 autumn statement.
