Sir J. Eden

asked the Minister of Technology what assessment he has now been able to make of the foreign exchange advantages of North Sea gas, as referred to in the Ministry of Power memorandum to the Select Committee on Exploitation of North Sea Gas, House of Commons Paper 372, July, 1969.

Mr. Alan Williams

The estimated net foreign exchange saving from North Sea gas is still expected to be about £50 million this year, rising to about £100 million a year in 1975.
