HC Deb 02 November 1966 vol 735 c101W
Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many petroleum and petro-chemical projects he has under active consideration at the present time.

Mr. Ross

The Minister of Power and the President of the Board of Trade are primarily responsible, respectively, for matters concerning the petroleum and petro-chemical industries. Among possible projects being considered within these industries at the present time are a number for Scottish sites, with which I am naturally concerned. As, however, some of these possibilities are extremely tentative, it would not be meaningful to give precise figures.
