The UK Government is being urged to back the controversial Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas projects in what could be a ‘powerful reset for the sector’The UK Government is being urged to give the controversial Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas projects the green light as part of what could be a “powerful reset” for the sector from Andy Burnham’s new government. Such a move could be part of what Mr Whitehouse described as a “powerful reset for the sector that shows that the Burnham Government is supporting British industry”. Industry body Offshore Energies UK wants to see Andy Burnham’s government back domestic oil and gas production – saying this will cut the UK’s reliance on imported fuels. Mr Whitehouse pointed out that Mr Burnham also “speaks a lot about the importance of place, and the importance of industry, reindustrialisation”. “It would send a signal that the UK is choosing not to support its own industries,” Mr Whitehouse stated.
