Answer
It is vital that we make the most of our North Sea oil and gas resources. This will maintain the security of the UK’s energy supply, produce significantly lower emissions than imported alternatives and support tens of thousands of jobs across Scotland. The Government is therefore committed to Scotland’s oil and gas sector and maximising the potential of our offshore reserves.
