Mr. Eric Clarke: To ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of oil, gas and coal reserves in the United
Kingdom. [5805]
Mr. Page: Remaining reserves in present discoveries of oil on the UK continental shelf at the end of 1995 are estimated to be up to
1,890 million tonnes. For gas the estimate is 1,915 billion cu m. Allowing for the full potential from as yet undrilled structures
could raise this to 6,714 million tonnes of oil and 3,665 billion cu m of gas.
For coal the remaining reserves at existing mines were estimated to be around 1 billion tonnes at the end of 1994.

Mr. Eric Clarke: To ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimates he has made of the life-span of remaining United Kingdom
fossil fuel reserves.[23949]
Mr. Page: Total British reserves of oil and gas in all known discoveries could, at 1994 rates of consumption, last respectively for
19 and 34 years. If the full potential from all possible future discoveries were to be included these would increase to over 50
years for both fuels.
The remaining reserves of coal at existing mines are estimated at around 1 billion tonnes, while 53 million tonnes were extracted in
1995. However, the prospects for future coal production are limited not by the resource base but by the economics of opening new
mines.
