Debate

Rosebank Oilfield: Government Policy

Contribution

I am here to discuss oil and gas, Rosebank and what is most important for my constituents in Aberdeen South. We have the industry; we should just get on and do it. We need Rosebank, and we need more exploration for the benefit of my constituents and of the nation. It is a mystery that this Government and the naysayers, such as the Greens, keep telling us that the North sea is empty, yet our neighbours, the Norwegians, keep drilling. If it is empty, why ban new exploration? This Government need to approve Rosebank now. We cannot wait any longer. Let us get Britain drilling again.
