HC Deb 15 November 1974 vol 881 cc282-3W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked 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. Varley

I am keeping the demand for platforms under review, but I have 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.
