§ Dr. John Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Energy what increase in the quantity of gas being flared in million cubic feet per day has resulted from his changes in flaring consent referred to in the answer given to the hon. Member for Whitehaven on Monday 25 June; what is the value of this gas in £ sterling; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GrayThe flaring consent levels to which the hon. Member refers extend to 30 June 1979 and the actual quantities of gas flared under them are not yet available. I will write to the hon. Member and place a copy of my letter in the Library when the actual figures are reported.
