HC Deb 20 February 1984 vol 54 c398W
30. Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what plans he has to assist the growth of the offshore oil equipment industry.

Mr. Peter Walker

I will continue to encourage the United Kingdom offshore supplies industry, through the activities of the offshore supplies office. In particular, I see opportunities for the industry to widen its technological base and to develop its export potential.
