uin	HL4250
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2021 answer text <p>The Government’s policy on the future of Oil and Gas is set out in this year’s landmark North Sea Transition Deal. At the centre of this deal are jobs and a transition towards a net zero economy. As the Climate Change Committee has recognised, the UK will unavoidably continue to rely on oil and gas in its energy mix for some years to come. Although the Government will remain a net importer, domestic production of these fuels will continue to play an important role, as the Government achieves its Net Zero ambitions.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 06/12/2021 16:40:15 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
