HC Deb 17 February 1976 vol 905 c651W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will give figures for the actual throughput of North Sea oil for each relevant port in Scotland and in England over the past year.

Mr. John Smith

Oil from the United Kingdom Sector of the North Sea was delivered to the United Kingdom in 1975 as follows:

Forties—by pipeline to Cruden Bay/Kinniel: 450,511 tonnes
Argyll—to Milford Haven (Wales): 124,284 tonnes
to Isle of Grain: 120,609 tonnes
to Immingham: 228,981 tonnes

Oil from the Norwegian sector is landed at Teesside under the Ekofisk Treaty and statistics of throughput are handled by the Norwegian authorities.

Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will give figures for the anticipated throughput of North Sea oil for each relevant port in Scotland and in England for each of the next five years.

Mr. John Smith

I regret that no estimates are available.
