answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government has put together a far-reaching package of support to help businesses through the COVID-19 outbreak. We continue to engage extensively with businesses across all sectors, including with the oil and gas industry, to understand current challenges and consider what more we can do in support. Oil and gas staff were amongst those deemed essential workers and have therefore been supported in continuing to work safely, including having access to priority testing for COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has rapidly stood up resources to address the twin challenges of COVID-19 and the low oil price following the collapse in global demand, working closely with the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) and the sector to monitor impacts and track and mitigate any risks to critical infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>Our Manifesto included a commitment to deliver a transformational Sector Deal for the UK’s oil and gas industry. This is likely to focus on the energy transition and will be critically important for the sector as it seeks to recover from the current crisis.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 08/06/2020 10:35:55 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
