UK Shale Gas

Proceeding contribution from Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 July 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Backbench debate on UK Shale Gas.

The hon. Gentleman is probably already aware of the Sullom Voe agreement, under which community benefit is brought into the community at parish level. I believe that for every barrel of oil taken from Shetland Island waters, a number of pence—totalling something like £23 million or £24 million—goes to the Shetland Islands council for it to distribute. That is probably a good model for us all.
