Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the questions that I put to him on three matters? First, will he confirm that there is a DTI mission going to Japan to offer the Japanese a share of the North Sea? Secondly, will he tell us the date on which he expects to make up his mind and to make a statement about rationing? Thirdly, will he tell us when we may expect economic measures to deal with this situation?

Finally, since right hon. and hon. Members on both sides of the House are clearly anxious, will he add his weight to our demand for an early debate so that we can go into the matter in greater detail?
