The SNP has called for “decisive action” from the Prime Minister after oil giant BP announced it was selling its North Sea operations. “The policy enforced from Westminster is costing Scottish jobs, is costing our economy and is costing the climate. “I’m focused on doing right by the workers in the North Sea who have powered this country for generations.” “Scotland’s future prosperity – and our contribution to energy security – are reliant on North Sea energy production and, crucially, the skills and experience of that workforce, not least in the North East. “The UK Government needs to take urgent action to protects jobs, energy security and investment in our energy sector.”
