Lorna Slater call on Scottish Government to keep presumption against oil and gas by Scottish Greens

Moves to drop or dilute Scotland’s presumption against new oil and gas exploration would be “reckless in the extreme” and “rip up our social contract with future generations” say the Scottish Greens.

The party’s Co-leader, Lorna Slater, has called for the Scottish Government to “end the climate climbdown” and reaffirm it’s support for the presumption, which was included in the draft energy strategy published last year.
