HC Deb 01 May 1967 vol 746 c10W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Power, what he estimates the production of natural gas from the North Sea will be in 1968–70, 1971–72, and 1973–75, in terms of coal equivalent.

Mr. Marsh

The growth of production between 1968 and 1975 will depend on a number of factors including the results of further exploration. All that can be said at present is that at least 2,000 million cubic feet a day, or 26 million tons a year coal equivalent, should be available by 1970 or soon after.
