Energy and Climate Change written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what consideration his further review of regulatory procedures of the UK oil and gas industry will give to the oil leak from Shell's Gannet Alpha platform.
Prompted by the Gulf of Mexico spill last year, the principal focus of the further review of UK oil and gas regulation is around drilling operations, which were not, of course, germane to the Gannet event. Given the ongoing nature of the joint DECC/HSE investigation into Gannet, the regulatory review has not examined the matter in detail and would not, therefore, be in a position to offer detailed observations.
