To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what representations has he made to BP over the use of British steel in the Net Zero Teesside project.
The department regularly engages with key CCUS stakeholders, including BP, to understand progress towards the industry-led, voluntary 50% local content target. The department has emphasised in discussions with industry partners the importance of supporting the UK steel sector and maximising opportunities for British businesses within the UK’s transition to net zero.
There has already been extensive investment in the CCUS supply chain, with £1 bn in UK-based subcontracts already being awarded across the Net Zero Teesside project and its associated CO2 Transport and Storage Company, the Northern Endurance Partnership, both of which are BP led. This demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting domestic industry and jobs.
The department will continue to explore further opportunities to maximise the role of the UK supply chain and we look forward to working closely with BP and other developers to achieve this.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he has had discussions with BP on the recent workforce cuts they have announced.
I was extremely disappointed to hear that BP has decided to shed energy-related jobs across the world, and that this may impact Scottish workers. We are aware of the situation, and I have asked my officials to follow up with the company to better understand the situation, and in particular the estimated impact on Scotland.
I have contact with BP and Offshore Energies UK on a regular basis, where we discuss a range of issues. A just transition of energy jobs in Scotland is of utmost importance to this Government, and we are confident that our clean energy mission will ensure thousands of good quality jobs for workers in Scotland, including in the oil and gas sector. GB Energy and our skills passports are designed to ensure this.
I will continue to monitor the situation closely and engage with the relevant stakeholder

That this House recognises 60 years of BP operations in the North Sea and its significant contribution to the economy of Aberdeen and the North East of Scotland, supporting thousands of jobs and a world-leading energy industry; acknowledges the broader economic impact of Scotland’s offshore industries which have contributed more than £450 billion to the UK economy, and remain essential for Scotland’s energy security and economic growth; notes the vital role played by Aberdeen and the North East in supporting the industry, including the network of supply chain businesses which provide innovative technologies and high quality jobs throughout the region; emphasises the importance of a fair and just transition as Scotland moves towards net zero, ensuring that communities in Aberdeen and the North East, which have long been the backbone of the offshore industry, are not left behind; calls on the UK Government to work closely with industry, the Scottish Government, and stakeholders to ensure that the transition supports the workers and businesses currently dependent on the sector; and further calls for investment in skills development and infrastructure to ensure that the North East of Scotland remains a global energy hub, leading the way in renewable energies, while protecting the communities that have been central to the industry for decades.

It absolutely does. Representing a constituency that had the Sullom Voe oil terminal managed by BP for many years, I suspect that the reasons why the hon. Gentleman has Shell pensioners in his constituency and I have BP pensioners in mine are very similar.

I commend the right hon. Gentleman for bringing forward this debate. It is a critical issue, and it goes beyond the two pensions that he has referred to. Does he agree that the Government—I say this with great respect to them—have had adequate warning that we are heading towards a...
