Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 September 2026

Debate

Jackdaw and Rosebank Oil and Gas Fields

Contribution

The Scottish Court of Session quashed the original consents for these projects in January 2025. We published supplementary guidance in June 2025 to implement the Finch judgment, under which end-use combustion emissions must be taken into account in environmental impact assessments for oil and gas production projects. At that time, the Government reopened the window for applications.
