HC Deb 24 June 1975 vol 894 c128W
Mr. McElhone

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what steps he is taking to identify and contain the escalation of costs for offshore oil and gas operations.

Mr. Benn

I have set in hand an examination of this problem and I am hoping that I shall have the full co-operation of the TUC, the STUC, the CBI and the industries concerned in this.
