What happened

The amendment criticised the Government’s plan to ban new licences for oil and gas exploration, argued that this would damage Aberdeen, the north-east of Scotland and the wider UK economy, and called for approval of the Rosebank oil field and Jackdaw gas field. It also urged the Government to drop its opposition to new oil and gas licences, support oil and gas technology exports, reconsider nuclear plans at Wylfa and abolish the carbon tax regime. The amendment was defeated, so it was not added to the King’s Speech motion.

The latest division was recorded as motion negatived with 108 Ayes and 323 Noes.
