HC Deb 12 January 1977 vol 923 cc499-500W
Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what investigation is being carried out by the EEC into the operation of the Offshore Supply Office; under what authority this is being done; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. J. Dickson Mabon

The Commission has made inquiries about the United Kingdom's full and fair opportunity policy for supplies to the United Kingdom Continental Shelf and the interest relief grant scheme. Apart from specific treaty provisions empowering the Commission to review particular measures, the Commission is obliged by Article 155 to ensure that the treaty provisions are applied.
