HC Deb 16 November 1979 vol 973 cc824-5W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what plans Her Majesty's Government have for reassessing the North Sea gas gathering pipeline scheme in the light of the increasing cost of oil.

Mr. Gray

Oil prices will form part of the economic background to the assessment of the report expected next spring from British Gas and Mobil, to whose work I referred in my reply of 1 November to my hon. Friend.—[Vol. 972, c. 626–7.]
