Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of North Sea oil and gas on the Scottish economy.

The Government is committed to managing existing oil and gas fields responsibly for the entirety of their full lifespan. Oil and gas will remain an important part of the UK’s energy mix for decades to come.

We are also investing in our country's green energy future, and the likes of Scottish Power are creating up to 1400 jobs in Scotland through a £12 billion investment.
