HC Deb 02 May 1975 vol 891 c285W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether there is freedom to charge a different price for North Sea oil in the EEC from the United Kingdom price for this oil.

Mr. John Smith

There are provisions in the Treaty of Rome against price discrimination. It is, in any case, the Government's intention that North Sea oil should be disposed of at market prices.
