Did you mean fawsley?
Hon. Richard Wood: ...by the Gas Council. A number of factors arose however. There were the issues which had been raised during the previous year by the Bill promoted by the Esso Petroleum Company to lay pipelines from Fawley, north-east towards London and northwest to the Severn; and the Trunk Pipelines Bill which was introduced but withdrawn in 1961. Then there was the Government's decision on...
Mr Jo Grimond: ...as much as or even more than the men who sit at home. As for the incomes policy, I hope that it will not be an instrument mitigating against change. I want to see the sort of thing that went on at Fawley, the type of agreement where one gets rid of a whole lot of restrictive practices in return for a big increase in wages all round. I want to see a reduction in direct taxation. I want to...
Mr Peter Hordern: .... Is it not a fact that the demand for electricity is now showing unmistakable signs of slowing down? Is it not also a fact that there is at present one very heavy industrial user of electricity at Fawley which is planning to set up its own generating plant, which will diminish considerably the present rate of demand? Is it not a further fact that the increasing use of gas will lessen the...
Mr Jo Grimond: ...should be equipped with expert assistance to enable them to do their work better. This would seem to be an obvious corollary to higher pay. There was an agreement in the oil industry, called the Fawley Agreement, relating to higher pay for higher work. That is what the public ought to get out of Parliament. But we cannot have more efficient work until we have not only higher pay but...
Mr Raymond Gunter: ...changes must be carefully sold to the workers, and a long process of consultation, explanation and persuasion may be involved. This was well exemplified in the productivity agreements reached at Fawley, which have been so widely publicised, and there are, of course, many other firms which have achieved significant results in terms of increased productivity by doing some fundamental...
Mr John Eden: ...least the trend towards industrialisation in the immediate vicinity and even to some extent within the precincts of the forest itself. This is most notable in the part along Southampton Water by Fawley where there have been constructed a major oil refinery and a number of other major industrial concerns. In addition, we have witnessed in the New Forest area, as has everywhere else in the...
Mr Stanley Awbery: ...ago, I put a Question to the Minister about two ships of 105,000 tons being built in Kobe. If they came to this country, what ports could they use? The Minister said that they could come to Fawley and Milford, but they could not. Milford is a very small port. A vessel of that size could not come there. It could come up to the Haven against a jetty and discharge its cargo, and possibly...
Dr Horace King: ...year. The police keep an eye on my empty house. Nobody could buy that service for what he pays in rates the whole year. That is a tiny fraction of what police protection means. On Christmas Day at Fawley refinery there was a fire, which was checked by the skill, courage and devotion of the Hampshire firemen. If it had not been for those men, this would have been a major economic disaster...
Mr James Boyden: ..., c. 1120.] By a coincidence, the very next day one of our leading people, I suppose the leading person in technology and technician training, Sir Willis Jackson, said, on the occasion of the Tenth Fawley Foundation Lecture at Southampton University, much the same as the Minister said in that debate. Perhaps I may be permitted to quote the most important part of it: The effects and the...
Mr Thomas Fraser: ..., 75 million tons will be in coal, the other 25 million tons being in oil and nuclear energy. I am delighted to see the electricity authorities relying mainly on indigenous fuel. We know about Fawley. The Minister was asked yesterday about Milford Haven. I wonder whether we could be told a little more about this, although I am not very hopeful that we shall be. As I understand it, this is...
Sir Henry Legge-Bourke: ...to which we can refer, for that covers the year 1961–62. The question of science and the Government, in which the hon. Member for Coventry, East is so interested, was referred to in the eighth Fawley Foundation Lecture under the heading "Science and Government". It is interesting to note that it included the following: In the Government it is important not so much that there should be a...
Mr John Howard: ...the port has increased to the point where it is third in magnitude only to freight handled in Liverpool and London. About 13·7 million tons pass through the port annually. The oil arrangements at Fawley in Southampton Water account for about 12 million tons of freight, and the balance of the trade us predominantly cargo passing to and from South Africa. If I may make a political point, I...
Sir David Price: ..., and there was natural disappointment when Fisons decided not to set up there. But I am hopeful that the Esso refinery will attract satellite industry around it—as the Esso refinery has done at Fawley, near my own constituency—and thus become the nucleus round which an expanding economic community will develop. Viewed in these terms, the eventual prospects for Milford Haven must be...
Hon. Richard Wood: I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time. About two years ago the House of Commons considered the Esso Petroleum Company Bill which planned to lay pipelines from Fawley to London Airport and from Fawley to Avonmouth. In the Second Reading debate on 28th June, 1960, I said: As to the future, the Government believe that it is most important that an examination should take place...
Lieut-Commander Peter Smithers: asked the Minister of Power whether he will state the derivative origins, whether from coal, or liquid methane, or by-products of oil from the Fawley refinery, of the gas which it is proposed to store underground near and beneath the city of Winchester in terms of the Gas (Underground Storage) (Chilcomb) Bill, to the introduction of which he has given his assent.
Mr Desmond Donnelly: ...leases of about 99 years to the proposing undertakers in order to enable them to build their piers. Rents were arrived at which were considered to be fair. A good example is the installation at Fawley, whose rent is about £1,000 a year for 99 years in respect of the piers going out over the Crown land on the sea bed. It was assumed that the same rates would apply for Milford Haven, until...
Mrs Judith Hart: ...local authorities, firms and transport undertakings, will all be concerned about their rights even more than they were during the course of the Esso Bill, which proposed to construct a pipeline to Fawley and Severnside. I hope that when the Minister is considering what form an oil pipeline system should take, he will bear in mind a number of other factors. One is that responsibility should...
Dr Horace King: ...the war the population of Hampshire has probably increased more than that of any other county in the country. There have been great industrial developments. I would remind the House of the great Fawley refinery and subsidiary industrial development on one side of Southampton Water and, on the other side, great developments in the Havant - Waterloo - Fareham - Gosport-Portsmouth section....
Mr William Warbey: ...third by Shell-Mex and British Petroleum. These are comparatively short lines. Now we have before us a project for the construction of two quite long lines, about 75 miles in length, running from Fawley right across southern England, in one case to London Airport and in the other case to Severnside. It is perhaps only the beginning of what may be a still further and increasingly rapid...
Mr Hugh Wilson: The Government-owned pipelines wore constructed during the war, when Fawley was not in existence.
