HC Deb 17 June 1969 vol 785 cc68-9W
25. Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on progress made in the development and production of high-speed gas.

Mr. Mason

I presume my hon. Friend is referring to North Sea Gas.

Four major gas fields have been found, and 61 production wells had been drilled at the end of May, Ten fixed production platforms have been erected and four undersea pipelines laid. Gas is coming ashore from the West Sole and Leman Bank fields, and supplies from the Hewett field are expected to start next month.
