Between March and May 2019 BEIS and HM Treasury ran a consultation to identify what more should be done to further strengthen Scotland and the UK’s position as a global hub for decommissioning.
The call for evidence focused on 2 central themes:
– building on the existing fiscal, policy and collaborative measures, how the UK decommissioning industry could further improve its ability to serve the UK market, support MER UK and reduce the overall costs of decommissioning
– what could be done to encourage the domestic industry to export its decommissioning expertise abroad and position Scotland, together with the rest of the UK, as a world leading hub for decommissioning
The response to this consultation has now been published.
