HC Deb 28 March 1980 vol 981 cc735-6W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he has any plans to include blocks off the West Coast of the Outer Hebrides in the seventh licensing round.

Mr. Gray

I have not finally decided on the territory to be put on offer in the seventh round, but I have no plans to include the area mentioned by the right hon. Member; the intention is to select blocks from the areas referred to in the reply I gave to my hon. Friend, the Mem- ber for New Forest (Mr. McNair-Wilson) on 5 December 1979 about my proposals for the seventh round.
