HC Deb 02 December 1987 vol 123 cc614-5W
Mr. Salmond

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table, similar to table 13 on page 61 of the current edition of "Development of the Oil and Gas Resources of the United Kingdom", showing taxes and royalties attributable to United Kingdom and United Kingdom continental shelf oil and gas, at 1987–88 prices.

Mr. Lilley
