§ 40. Mr. James Johnsonasked the Minister of Power how much gas from the North Sea is under contract to be supplied to the Gas Council; and what proportion of this will be used by industrial, commercial and domestic consumers, respectively.
§ Mr. FreesonAt least 700 m.c.f.d. when supplies have built up to full contracted quantities. Further contracts are under negotiation. The Gas Council's present forecast is that by 1972–73 about half the gas will go to the commercial and industrial markets, half to domestic users.
