Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat), on Wednesday, 14 January 2015, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 15 members in total.


OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY JOBS

That this House notes with concern that one of the consequences of the falling oil price is the pressure this is putting on many businesses in the North East of Scotland; recognises the importance of the North Sea oil and gas industry in keeping export-earning businesses and the associated supply chain anchored to the UK; further notes the risk of losing valuable expertise from the UK as a result of job cuts; and calls on the Government to work with North Sea businesses to help them retain jobs and skills during this downturn.
