§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list the stocks of detergents held by his Department for oil-pollution purposes which are themselves manufactured by the oil companies; and if he will indicate the value by individual oil company.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisThe stock of dispersants currently held by my Department may include a small quantity manufactured by an oil company. It is not possible to give a precise figure for the amount and consequently for the value, because this dispersant was mixed with other makes of dispersant in a storage tanker from which spraying vessels used in the "Amoco Cadiz" operation were replenished. This stock also includes some dispersant marketed, but not manufactured by an oil company.
