§ Mr. MacCormickasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received regarding the use of Cambeltown as a port to service offshore oil installations.
§ Mr. CarmichaelNone directly, but I am aware of proposals relating to an oil production platform construction site and an oil refinery in the Campbel-town area. If either goes forward it will, no doubt, entail provision of harbour facilities, and possibly an application for my right hon. Friend's authorisation, required under the Harbours Act 1964 for harbour works over £1 million. He will consider any such application on its merits in consultation with the National Ports Council.
