§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will now permit North Sea oil to be exported to Israel; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GrayI continue to expect companies exporting United Kingdom North Sea oil to do so in the markets of our partners in the International Energy Agency and the European Community. This expectation in no way cuts across existing patterns of trade; but there is no existing pattern of trade in oil to Israel.
