Ministers and officials meet regularly with the oil and gas industry. For example,
I met a range of oil and gas industry representatives and a member of the Scottish
Government during a visit to Aberdeen on 2 September 2019. The visit included attendance
at the Maximising Economic Recovery UK (MER UK) Forum, where a range of industry issues
were discussed. On 20 August 2019 the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and
Industrial Strategy visited Aberdeen where she met representatives from the energy
industry.</p>
