§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Secretary of State for Energy what is expected to be the draught of the concrete production platforms due to be towed from United Kingdom sites to their production sites in the North Sea in 1977.
§ Dr. J. Dickson MabonThe draught of a concrete platform depends on the extent to which it is ballasted down, which in turn depends on depth of water and weather conditions. Given good weather the three concrete platforms due for tow out from United Kingdom sites in 1977 will be ballasted to a draught of 78 metres.
