Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the press release entitled New opportunities for North Sea oil and gas, published by the Prime Minister's Office on 5 November 2023, if she will publish a breakdown of the more than 200,000 jobs supported by the combined oil and gas industry.

The Department does not have the breakdowns for workforce groups in the combined oil and gas sector. I refer the hon Member to the 2022 OEUK Workforce Insights Report which includes breakdowns of the workforce including by region and job description.
