DISASTER & A BETRAYAL

Yousaf & Greens accuse Sunak of abandoning duty to save planet

- DAN VEVERS

HUMZA Yousaf yesterday warned Rishi Sunak’s new plan to award oil and gas licences every year “flies in the face” of the country’s climate goals.

The Prime Minister will use today’s King’s Speech to reveal his latest policy to bolster the North Sea, which will mandate annual licensing for oil production.

The Tory Government insisted there would be a two-stage process of testing applications to ensure they keep within the UK’s net zero rules.
