CBI responds to Government's approval of Jackdaw gas field

Rain Newton-Smith, CBI Chief Executive, said:

“The Jackdaw decision is a welcome recognition of the North Sea’s continuing role in a pragmatic, managed energy transition, making responsible use of domestic resources while sustaining the skills and expertise built up over decades.

“Business and government remain committed to building the clean energy industries of the future. The new Energy Wealth Fund is a welcome opportunity to turn the strength of today’s North Sea into long-term investment, skilled jobs and greater energy security for the future.”
