HC Deb 25 July 1977 vol 936 c79W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how many drilling rigs applied for a certificate of fitness in 1976; how many were refused because they did not meet approved standards; and how many were granted dispensations from attaining approved standards in one or more respects and were issued with certificates of fitness.

Dr. John A. Cunningham

Applications for certificates of fitness are made by the owners directly to the six certifying authorities. The data called for in this Question therefore are not all immediately available within the Department. T shall supply a written reply when the full data have been obtained.
