Baroness Hayman (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 March 2025

Debate

Licensed Oil and Gas Fields: Emissions

Contribution

My Lords, I declare my interest as chair of Peers for the Planet. Did the consultation involve—I do not think that it did—the issue of ending venting and flaring, which is not essential, from oil and gas fields in the North Sea? We know how damaging that is, and the Minister will recollect that during debates on the Energy Bill noble Lords across the House took a view that it was a dangerous practice that needed ending. What are the Government doing about ending it?
