HC Deb 06 July 1981 vol 8 c10W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what estimates he has made of total United Kingdom oil production for the next 12 months.

Mr. Gray

My Department's latest forecast for United Kingdom oil production in 1981 is 80 million-95 million tonnes. Technical and geological considerations will play an important part in determining actual production in the year. For 1982, the forecast is 85 million-110 million tonnes.
