HC Deb 25 November 1981 vol 13 c381W
Mr. Stan Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the estimated profit before tax derived from each oil or gas field at the latest available date.

Mr. Gray

Information derived from statutory returns to my Department on revenue and expenditure by operators of oil and gas fields may be published in aggregate form only and accordingly publication of estimated profits before tax by field would be in breach of confidence.
