Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether he has met representatives of the Scottish oil and gas sector to discuss their priorities for negotiations for the UK's future relationship with the EU.
Answered by Robin Walker
On Thursday 26 April I facilitated an oil and gas roundtable discussion at Oil and Gas UK’s Aberdeen offices as part of a broader set of meetings I attended along side the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury. It was useful to be able to update the sector on developments since my previous visit in July 2017, when I met a similar group of sector representatives.
These meetings have enabled me to keep them up to date with progress with negotiations and to hear first-hand industry’s concerns and priorities in relation to EU Exit.
