HC Deb 16 December 1976 vol 922 c799W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his estimate of the royalty payments BNOC is likely to receive for each of the years until 1980 and the average annual receipts over the next five years.

Dr. J. Dickson Mabon

In view of the difficulty of forecasting the availability in the National Oil Account of royalty receipts and BNOC's own future revenues, it is not possible to give a firm indication of BNOC's use of this former source of funds between now and 1985.
