Offshore Industry: Training

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department plans to take to help support offshore oil and gas workers transitioning to alternative energy industries.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Government is taking action to coordinate our approach to ensure a just transition, which would allow offshore oil and gas workers to benefit from the economic opportunities from our transition to net zero, particularly in Scotland. As Britain becomes a clean energy superpower, the government is determined to create new high-quality jobs, working with business and trade unions, as we manage the transition.
