9th Sep 2026
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of plugging and abandoning wells, removing installed infrastructure and restoring the seabed associated with the Rosebank field development in the event that the development does not receive the consents required to commence production.

The Rosebank decision is currently going through the regulatory process. The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero will make a decision in due course on whether or not to agree to the grant of consent. Final consenting decisions are the responsibility of the North Sea Transition Authority. Given the quasi-judicial nature of the regulatory process, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on specific aspects relating to the project.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of the time taken to determine the Rosebank consent application on the potential cost of maintaining, abandoning or removing wells and infrastructure already installed.

The Rosebank decision is currently going through the regulatory process. The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero will make a decision in due course on whether or not to agree to the grant of consent. Final consenting decisions are the responsibility of the North Sea Transition Authority. Given the quasi-judicial nature of the regulatory process, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on specific aspects relating to the project.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment her Department has made of the allocation of financial responsibility for well abandonment and infrastructure removal at the Rosebank field in the event that the development does not receive the consents required to commence production.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HM Revenue and Customs’ planned further analysis of the Scottish taxpaying population will include the effect of intra-UK taxpayer migration on (a) Scottish Income Tax receipts and (b) UK Government tax receipts.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published analysis of intra-UK migration and labour market participation in April 2024 and subsequently updated its analysis of intra-UK migration in 2026. These analyses use HMRC administrative data to examine movements of taxpayers and taxable income between Scotland, Wales and the rest of the UK over time, and they provide information on movements in the Scottish and wider UK tax base associated with intra-UK migration.
