Trade union Unite called on Sir Keir Starmer to clarify that workers will not pay the price should any plan to block new North Sea oil and gas developments be announced by the Labour Party.

Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham said on Wednesday that tens of thousands of workers in North Sea and supporting industries should be able to keep their jobs if Labour confirms plans to halt new oil and gas production.
