In relation to the natural wealth which is within my remit, viz: minerals and hydrocarbons, I am satisfied that current policies and practices governing their exploration and exploitation are appropriate to current circumstances. It is, of course, appropriate to review the economic terms from time to time and one such review is planned to take place shortly.
