HC Deb 08 June 1984 vol 61 cc305-6W
Mr. Kennedy

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will assess the need for onshore oil-related fabrication and construction yards in Scotland which follow from his assessment of the current and medium prospects for the industry.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The United Kingdom oil-related fabrication and construction yards, including those in Scotland, should be able to meet the orders stemming from projects which are currently being given approval. It is essential, however, for the yards to ensure that their bids for these orders are competitive.
