HC Deb 21 January 1974 vol 867 c226W
Mr. Douglas

asked the Minister for Energy if he will publish estimates of orders for United Kingdom equipment placed by Norwegian manufacturers of steel and concrete production platforms and drillings rigs to be used in the United Kingdom sector of the Continental Shelf, and where possible give these estimates as a percentage of the total manufacturing price.

Mr. David Howell

Some United Kingdom equipment will be used in the production units of the platforms. The proportion of the total manufacturing price could be as high as 25 per cent. in a particular case.
