Labour will reportedly ban new oil and gas developments in the North Sea if Keir Starmer becomes the next Prime Minister.

In its draft energy strategy published in January, the Scottish Government said there “should be a presumption against new exploration for oil and gas”, as it proposed making the “fastest possible just transition”.
