Mr. Hardy
asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will give his estimate of the volume and value of gas flared offshore during the last three months.
Mr. Gray
[pursuant to his reply, 26 November 1979, c. 431]: I have now received the actual flaring figures for the month of October which shows an average daily level of 565 million cubic feet. This is lower than the earlier estimate, mainly because the Brent field was shut down for some days at the end of the month because of bad weather.
