Newly emerged meeting notes show that the UK's North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has been assisting the fossil fuel industry in developing a pro-oil and gas message for continued North Sea drilling, raising concerns about the regulator's impartiality in approving new projects.
According to its website, the purpose of the North Sea Transition Steering Group is to"discuss and review key strategic issues affecting the oil and gas industry", which could arguably include public messaging.But campaigners have told Sky News that the minutes are evidence of an inappropriately"cosy" relationship between the regulator and fossil fuel companies.
"How can the public be expected to trust its decisions if, at the same time, it's helping oil and gas firms with their PR? The last thing the UK needs right now is yet more misleading spin on oil and gas.
