HC Deb 14 May 1973 vol 856 c229W
40. Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now give his revised estimate of oil reserves located within the United Kingdom sector of the Continental Shelf.

Mr. Tom Boardman

The review of forecasts of offshore oil and gas production and reserves is now complete. I have prepared a report for Parliament setting out the results, and copies are now being placed in the Vote Office.
