Miatta Fahnbulleh corrected a written answer on Offshore Industry: Climate Change

14 October 2026 · Commons written answer · Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Dr Scott Arthur (Labour, Edinburgh South West) asked written question 901430 on 15 September 2026. Ms Polly Billington answered on 14 October 2026 for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, and Miatta Fahnbulleh corrected the answer on 14 October 2026. The corrected text no longer gives the figures 6 million, £150. Altogether 131 words differ between the two versions.

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps she is taking to align UK oil and gas production with climate targets.

Original and corrected answer

Struck through: original only. Bold: correction only.

Original	Corrected
I ~~am incredibly worried about the rising heating costs~~ in ~~Woking~~ and ~~across the country~~ this winter. That is why Andy Burnham's first act as Prime Minister was to scrap VAT on electricity bills, on top of the £150 we removed from bills earlier in the year. Soon 6 million households across the country - including many in your constituency- will receive £150 in Warm Homes Discount - and we are our exploring the delivery of further targeted support to those who need it the most.	As I said in my earlier answer, this government will not be making decisions for this country which are not compatible with our climate obligations. We are committed to our manifesto position to end new licences to explore new oil and gas fields and will be introducing legislation to reflect this very soon.
