§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Energy how many production platforms will be required for the Scottish sector of the North Sea over the lifetime of the oil fields; what is the likely market for home production in current timescales; and how many sites and berths will be needed within Scotland and England, respectively.
§ Mr. VarleyI am keeping the demand for platforms under review, but I have 283W nothing to add at present to my statement of 12th August "Construction sites for offshore oil production platforms", copies of which have been placed in the Library.
