HC Deb 20 July 1977 vol 935 c613W
Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what estimate he has made of the number of divers who have left companies operating in the North Sea since 6th April; and whether he will make a statement.

Dr. J. Dickson Mabon

I have received a number of reports from individual diving companies operating in the North Sea of divers having left their companies over the last four months. A number of such divers are now thought to be working for other companies also operating in the North Sea.
