Badenoch pledges to maximise North Sea oil and gas extraction

KEMI Badenoch has committed the Tories to extract as much oil and gas as possible from the North Sea.

The Conservative Party will make “maximising extraction’ its goal if it wins power, rather than measures aimed at shifting the North Sea industry away from fossil fuels.

Mrs Badenoch will use a speech in Aberdeen in the coming days to set out her plans, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
