Scrutiny of Petroleum and Other Mineral Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Discussion
3:00 pm
Professor Pat Shannon:
I would acknowledge that the UK is a net importer of both oil and gas at present. In fact, its import dependency is at 36% and it is anticipated that it will reach 55% by 2030, as is stated in our submission. Our submission also addresses the 80% issue. I will not go into that at the moment because there are various other issues but it is in the documentation.
