Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate his Department has made of the number of jobs that will be created by the North Sea decommissioning market by 2025.
The Department does not have details of the specific job numbers associated with decommissioning. However it is clear that decommissioning is already supporting a significant number of UK jobs, and we expect that numbers will rise in accordance with increases in decommissioning activity.
