Oil And Gas Industry Jobs
EDM number 691 in 2014-15, proposed by Robert Smith on 14/01/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Employment, Industry and Oil, petrol and natural gas.
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.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
