HC Deb 14 December 1959 vol 615 c115W
114. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on the search now going on in Scotland for natural gas.

Mr. Wood

Work is in hand to prove the volume of gas in the structure at Cousland, Midlothian—the only place in Scotland where our knowledge of the geology of the country suggests that there is natural gas in any quantity.
