HC Deb 26 July 1978 vol 954 cc795-6W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he is satisfied, in the light of possible difficulties at Moss Morran, that the various radio and radar networks based on Shetland, in particular those of the American Coastguard Station, will cause no danger to the oil and gas installations at Sullom Voe.

Dr. Mabon

I understand that, arising out of queries over installations at Crimond and Mossmorran, the Health and Safety Executive is conducting studies of the possible ignition hazards caused by radio transmissions, the results of which will be published shortly. When the studies are complete their relevance to other installations will be carefully considered.
