Burnham expected to reverse ban on new oil and gas drilling

Incoming prime minister likely to reverse manifesto pledge and allow new North Sea licences, reports say

Andy Burnham is expected to relax the government’s restrictions on new oil and gas drilling when he becomes prime minister, according to reports.

A decision to grant new licences for the practice in the North Sea would mark a departure from Labour’s 2024 manifesto, in which it pledged to honour existing licences but not issue new ones.
