HC Deb 24 February 1992 vol 204 cc395-6W
19. Mr. Jacques Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what was the level of gas production on the United Kingdom continental shelf in 1990.

Mr. Moynihan

In 1990, 50 billion cubic metres of gas were produced from the United Kingdom continental shelf. My Department's provisional estimate is that the level of production rose by over 10 per cent. in 1991.
