OIL SECTOR SCOTLAND 🏴 Again Scotland’s industry thrown to the sword by an ailing UK Government. They save British Steel but leave Scotland behind. Is the former PM Gordon Brown going to step in and save our oil and gas from the madness of Ed Miliband ? March 2015 The Energy U Turn from the Labour Party will go down in history as the day the lights went out in Scotland. They purport to be the so called party of the workers. It was Gordon Brown that said a number of measures could help the industry, including; A North Sea reserve to maintain and upgrade essential infrastructure and to provide "last-resort" debt finance for companies who want to keep fields open. UK government co-investment through public-private partnerships. Government loans. And advance purchase agreements. Mr Brown said: "In the most extreme cases, to avoid the field being mothballed in its entirety, the government could go into partnership for a take-over of the field. "If it is temporarily abandoned, the government should act to ensure that sometime in the future it is possible to come back and exploit the oil”. Article 2015. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
