I think it is generally agreed that the programme of exploring for oil and extracting it from the North Sea bed is one which the Government have encouraged and is going on speedily. There was a recommendation in the report of the working party it is paragraph C.49—that there should be further discussions on where and how a centre for this technology should be set up. In my view, there is a very strong case for this to be in Scotland.
