Ban on New Drilling in the UK Sector of the North Sea

Lodged by Duncan Massey (Reform UK ) Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament condemns proposals by the UK Government to formalise the ban on new drilling in the UK sector of the North Sea, as set out in the UK Government's forthcoming legislative programme; believes that under all possible scenarios, the UK will need oil and gas for decades, and further believes that it would be more sensible to maximise the use of the UK's own oil and gas resources rather than import them from neighbouring Norway or countries further afield.
