Energy: North Sea
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps his Department is taking to help support a just energy transition in the North Sea.
Answered by Ian Murray
The UK Government is committed to making Britain a clean energy superpower by 2030.
As we make the carefully phased transition to clean energy, we will build alternative opportunities for oil and gas workers - to which we’ve already committed £22bn of investment.
What’s more, we have created the National Wealth Fund to invest in our clean energy industries. I have seen first hand what great work is taking place - including just last week at Dundee Port.
