HC Deb 25 May 1978 vol 950 c653W
37. Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his estimate of the duration of the flow of funds from North Sea oil and gas at the currently anticipated rate of extraction.

Dr. Mabon

The flow of Government revenue from North Sea oil and gas will continue as long as profitable production continues. At the currently anticipated rates of extraction, oil and gas production should continue well into the next century.
