HC Deb 23 December 1982 vol 34 c670W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what in his estimation, has been the effect of the Oil and Gas (Enterprise) Act 1982 in determining the market value of natural gas.

Mr. Mellor

It is too early to state the effects of the Oil and Gas (Enterprise) Act 1982 on the market value of natural gas but I expect the Act to bring substantial benefits to both consumers and producers of natural gas.
