Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what estimate he has made of the time it will take to create 1,000 new jobs in the energy sector in Aberdeen.

Great British Energy published their strategic plan at the end of last year and have committed to directly supporting more than 10,000 jobs by 2030 through GBE-backed and funded projects, including in areas historically dependent on oil and gas.

But of course, this job creation must happen in partnership with industry, and we are seeing major investments from Scottish Power, SSEN and others create hundreds of good quality clean energy jobs in Aberdeen and across Scotland.
