It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Robertson. I congratulate the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion on securing this important debate. The Minister highlighted the achievements of the Climate Change Committee in driving climate action and noted significant reductions in emissions since 1990. He stated that development proposals for oilfields like Rosebank are subject to rigorous regulatory processes by the North Sea Transition Authority and Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning, which include extensive environmental impact assessments and public consultations. The Minister emphasized that while the UK is committed to net zero emissions by 2050, it remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels currently, with oil and gas production being crucial for national security and job creation. He argued against policies proposed by opposition parties, stating they would lead to higher imports of liquefied natural gas with greater emission intensity, loss of jobs, revenue for the Exchequer, and hinder transition towards cleaner energy technologies.
