HC Deb 26 January 1976 vol 904 c26W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if the Commission's proposals for the sharing of oil with the United Kingdom's European partners in the event of an emergency involve all oil available to the United Kingdom from the North Sea in such a contingency.

Mr. Benn

No. The Commission proposals seek, in the main, to reconcile the provisions of the Treaty of Rome with the internationally agreed emergency oil sharing scheme.
