Labour will not revoke existing licences and we will partner with business and workers to manage our existing fields for the entirety of their lifespan.
We will not issue new licences to explore new fields because they will not take a penny off bills, cannot make us energy secure, and will only accelerate the worsening climate crisis.
Rosebank and Jackdaw had been approved in 2022 and 2023 respectively, so are grandfathered in to the existing licences, despite a court challenge in the intervening years.
