2.30pm Questions to the Secretary of State for Defence

Afterwards
OFFSHORE PETROLEUM LICENSING BILL: SECOND READING
Caroline Lucas
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill because, whilst it provides for changes to the North Sea oil and gas licensing regime, the North Sea Transition Authority is clear that legislation to mandate annual licensing rounds is not needed, the Bill will not deliver energy security for the UK which would be better achieved by unleashing cheap and abundant renewable energy and delivering a nationwide, street by street, energy efficiency programme, will not reduce household energy bills, as any oil and gas will be sold on global markets to the highest bidder, fails to respond to the urgency of the climate crisis, to warnings that governments already plan to produce double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global heating to 1.5°C, and to the signal from COP28 in Dubai that the fossil fuel era is over, undermines UK climate targets, with the Climate Change Committee observing that expansion of fossil fuel production is not in line with net zero, proposes weaker tests than those included in the flawed Climate Compatibility Checkpoint, could lead to significant costs to the Treasury, including the risk of stranded assets, and fails to rule out new oil and gas licences, amend the Petroleum Act order to remove the duty to maximise economic recovery of petroleum, or set a new duty for the North Sea Transition Authority to deliver an orderly and just phase out of oil and gas.
