To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if she will make a statement on the future of oil and gas industry businesses in Scotland. [155192]

Mrs. Liddell

Last week we had a very positive debate at the Scottish Grand Committee on the future of the oil and gas industry in Scotland. I congratulate my hon. Friend on her valuable contribution to that debate. This Government remain determined to work with the industry so that it can maintain and build upon its international reputation and success.
