<p>The Government remains committed to the long-term future of the UK’s oil and gas
sector, which supports over 280,000 jobs and has been one of our great industrial
success stories over the past 50 years. We have provided the sector with unprecedent
levels of support during the industry downturn, placing the UK Continental Shelf amongst
the most competitive fiscal regimes in the world in order to attract investment and
secure jobs.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has not provided any specific support for
skilled workers who were made redundant from the offshore oil and gas sector and who
are seeking to re-validate expired industry certification.</p>
