answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2024 answer text <p>The oil and gas sector supports over 200,000 jobs and is critical to a successful energy transition. That is why the Government is providing certainty to industry through the introduction of the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill as well as agreeing the North Sea Transition Deal with industry. This includes the development of an industry-led skills passport to enable workers to move between sectors, protecting jobs and ensuring their skills, which are vital for the transition, are not lost.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 01/02/2024 14:47:54 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2024 answer text <p>New oil and gas licences will aid the UK’s delivery of net zero, reduce imports of LNG with much higher emissions than UK gas, strengthen UK and European energy security as UK oil is overwhelmingly refined and predominantly consumed in the UK and Europe, will help lower production emissions, manage the decline of production in the basin, support and protect the 200,000 jobs dependent on the industry, preserve tax revenues, strengthen the UK’s balance of payments and retain the skills, expertise, investment, and supply chains needed to support the transition to low carbon and renewable technologies necessary for net zero to be reached by 2050.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 02/02/2024 06:29:30 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
