We talk about offshore jobs and of course there are thousands of onshore jobs as well in that gas network, the future of which we do not know, but there is a potential future in nuclear. Are these transferable skills that could go …” | 63 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “I have only two more questions, and I can anticipate the next one. Where is the North sea workforce going? When I meet them at airports, they are going to Taiwan, south-east Asia, or the Caribbean.” | 36 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “Time is short, Tessa, so I have to move on to other people. David, your evidence is very strong, but conflates two things—the oil and gas sector, and that makes billions of pounds for multinationals, which you are a part of, and the community and the workforce, and I have colleagues who go out to do that work. To pick …” | 132 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “Why can’t we do both? Why can’t we maximise renewables and maximise extraction of oil and gas?” | 17 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “You talked about east-west geography. Geographically, are there any big winners? Do any ports have clear advantages?” | 17 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “I declare my membership of GMB as well, which is just as well because jobs and the just transitions are at the centre of this. Tessa, I hear what you say about there being no room for new oil and gas developments if we are to stay within the 1.5° target. The bottom line people will hear out of that is that you are will…” | 88 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “I know that, but you would let the rest go tomorrow, wouldn’t you?” | 13 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “A helpful concession? Surely it is a major concession. Something like 2.5 billion more barrels would come out of the North sea with tiebacks, wouldn’t it?” | 26 |

| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “Mark, how are ports navigating this transition? Obviously, we cannot have an oil and gas industry without ports, and some renewables are going to be offshore. How does the lead-in time and that transition work out for you?” | 38 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “It is tricky and it is going to be uneven. There are going to be some winners and losers among the ports, as these changes take place. Do freeports and green freeports have an advantage over others?” | 37 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “Are the Government recognising this situation? Is the industry recognising the situation? Is support coming from anywhere?” | 17 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “I have only two more questions, and I can anticipate the next one. Where is the North sea workforce going? When I meet them at airports, they are going to Taiwan, south-east Asia, or the Caribbean.” | 36 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “Same kind of job, same kind of skills, same kind of supply chain?” | 13 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “You talked about east-west geography. Geographically, are there any big winners? Do any ports have clear advantages?” | 17 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “What is the profile of those workers? Do you have young workers? Are there young members?” | 16 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “A helpful concession? Surely it is a major concession. Something like 2.5 billion more barrels would come out of the North sea with tiebacks, wouldn’t it?” | 26 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “Our last question on that subject: what can ports do to take advantage of transition and what do you want to see from the Government to help you take advantage of this transition?” | 33 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “I asked about the winners. There are going to be losers as well because ports will compete, will they not?” | 20 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 231) “Why can’t we do both? Why can’t we maximise renewables and maximise extraction of oil and gas?” | 17 |
