§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the estimated cost of providing plant and equipment for British refineries for processing North Sea oil; or whether it is intended to treat the EEC as an integrated market and allow substantial quantities of crude to be refined on the Continent.
§ Mr. BennExisting British refineries and those currently planned will be capable of refining North Sea oil though some may require minor modifications. I expect substantial quantities to be refined in this country, though no doubt some will be exported for refining elsewhere.
