§ 18. Mr. AingerTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how long present British oil and gas reserves will last at current levels of consumption.
§ Mr. Charles WardleTotal British reserves of oil and gas in all known discoveries could, at 1993 rates of consumption, last respectively for 25 and 36 years. If the full potential from all possible future discoveries were to be included these would increase to some 58 years for oil and 57 years for gas.
