Description

Kevin Murphy interviews Energy Secretary, Cecil Parkinson, about a record number of companies (125) bidding for licences to look for fresh reserves of North Sea oil, many for areas not previously explored. He says the bids show that reserves of oil are still high and its good news for those supplying the industry.
