§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his estimate of the total capital commitments of the BNOC over the next five years.
§ Dr. J. Dickson MabonThe February 1976 Public Expenditure White Paper (Cmnd. 6393) showed £250 million—1975 Survey prices—for BNOC's capital expenditure in 1976–77. Figures for later years were not given because the necessary information was not available so soon after BNOC's establishment. Estimates for the five years 1976–77 to 1980–81 are in the process of preparation for inclusion in the White Paper which will be published early next year.
