§ 23. Mr. Holtasked the Secretary of State for Energy what was the value of offshore fabrication orders won by companies in the north-east during 1985.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithIn 1984 north-east fabrication companies won orders worth £217 million out of total orders for the United Kingdom of £674 million. Outturn figures are not yet available for 1985. However, our provisional estimates indicate that north-east companies have continued to win a significant proportion of offshore fabrication work.
