HC Deb 01 April 1968 vol 762 cc47-8W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Minister of Transport if she will investigate the possibility of developing Loch Eriboll as a deep-water site for mammoth tankers on a sea route from the South Atlantic to Northern and Western Europe.

Mr. Swingler

Responsibility for initiating projects for the development of oil terminals rests with the oil companies themselves. However, we and the National Ports Council are co-operating with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Power in reviewing possible locations for very deep water oil terminals around the coasts of Great Britain.
