HC Deb 28 January 1976 vol 904 c214W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the yield of light petroleum distillate in refineries in the United Kingdom, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy and Benelux.

Mr. John Smith

The 1973 figures for light petroleum distillate—gas, gasoline, naphtha and kerosene—in millions of metric tonnes and as a percentage of total refinery yield are:

million tonnes per cent.
United Kingdom 32.3 30
France 32.6 24
Federal Republic of Germany 30.7 27
Italy 35.5 28
Benelux 28.9 27

NOTES:

The percentage of light petroleum distillate in 1974 and 1975 may, with lower refinery utilisation, have increased.

Figures were extracted from statistics published by the OECD.
