How did my MP vote on new oil and gas licences law? Rishi Sunak's Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill explained

MPs have passed Rishi Sunak's controversial bill to expand the North Sea's oil and gas production, despite senior Tories hitting out at it.

Sir Alok Sharma, who was president of the Glasgow Cop26 climate summit, described the legislation as a “smoke and mirrors” exercise which reinforces the perception that the UK is “rowing back from climate action”.

While Chris Skidmore, the former Net Zero Tsar, resigned as a Tory MP so would not have to vote for the bill. In a lengthy statement posted on X on January 5, he said: “This Bill would in effect allow more frequent new oil and gas licences and the increased production of new fossil fuels in the North Sea. It is a Bill that I have already stated my opposition to, by not voting in the King’s Speech debate in protest at the Bill’s inclusion in the government’s legislative programme.

“As the former energy minister who signed the UK’s net zero commitment by 2050 into law, I cannot vote for a Bill that clearly promotes the production of new oil and gas.“ He added: "To fail to act, rather than merely speak out, is to tolerate a status quo that cannot be sustained. I am therefore resigning my party whip and instead intend to be free from any party-political allegiance.”

When the vote happened, Sharma abstained so there were no Tory rebels and the bill passed its third reading with 285 votes to 218. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer described the bill as "a waste of time". “It isn’t going to make any difference at all – zero impact – on energy bills,” he said. "What you’ve got is a government that’s wasting its time trying to pass legislation to create a dividing line with the Labour Party rather than to solve the problem.”

Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho told the House of Commons: "We must deliver this transition [to net zero] in a proportionate, pragmatic and realistic way, ensuring that we make the most of the energy we produce right her in the UK. That is common sense."

What is the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill?

The bill will require the industry regulator to run annual rounds for new oil and gas licences, subject to stringent new emissions and imports tests. Currently licensing rounds are run when the North Sea Transition Authority (NTSA) decides it is necessary. It comes after the government granted 27 new oil and gas licences in October last year, with Sunak promising to approve 100.

The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "We believe the regular licensing for industry will increase certainty for industry and it will boost investor confidence. I’m not going to speculate on whether more licences will be granted - that’s a decision partly for the companies themselves, but we believe this bill will provide the necessary certainty and confidence to make those decisions.

"What we want to achieve is energy security in line with our Net Zero commitments, we believe this bill is an important part of that. Our aim is to secure energy security and avoid a situation where we’re relying on foreign regimes with higher emissions in the future. The spokesman claimed that this will not make the UK "a net exporter or increase carbon emissions beyond our carbon budget".

However, charity Friends of the Earth said the bill is doing "huge damage" to the UK's reputation at home and around the world. Jamie Peters, head of climate, commented: “As people face another winter of soaring energy bills, the Prime Minister’s relentless posturing and efforts to woo the oil and gas industry, including through this harmful bill, will do nothing to improve energy security or lower our bills.

“Senior MPs from his own party are speaking out over the huge damage this policy is doing at home and globally, as it adds more fuel to the fire of the UK’s backtracking on key climate commitments, including the recent Cop28 agreement to transition away from fossil fuels. Unleashing the UK’s huge potential for homegrown renewable energy and improving the energy efficiency of our homes would cut bills, create jobs, lower emissions, improve energy security and boost the economy."
