HC Deb 01 April 1985 vol 76 c463W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what recent consideration he has given to the possibility of supplying gas to Northern Ireland through a pipeline from the Morecambe bay gas field; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The British Gas Corporation, as licensee for the development, has proposed from the outset that the Morecambe field should be linked by pipeline to Great Britain; and so provided in its development plan approved in February 1982.
