HC Deb 22 April 1983 vol 41 cc188-9W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Prime Minister what account is taken in formulating the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards Third world countries of the effect on their economies of a consistently high price of North Sea crude oil.

The Prime Minister

There are no significant exports of North Sea crude oil to Third world countries. The price of North Sea crude oil is determined by world market conditions.
