HC Deb 20 April 1978 vol 948 cc294-5W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy, in respect of the total gas and gas condensate discoveries set out in Appendix 7 of the 1977 Brown Book, how many of these fields are likely to be developed before 1985.

Dr. Mabon

I cannot predict how many development proposals will be made before 1985 by the licensees of the discoveries referred to. Any such proposals will be considered on their individual merits and in the light of the depletion policy requirements of the time.
