Summary

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch wants to end Labour's ban on new oil and gas licences and make North Sea oil and gas a "cornerstone" of the economy.

Kamali Melbourne is joined by our business correspondent Paul Kelso, who breaks down the economic impact it could have, while industry expert Professor Paul de Leeuw tells us how the sector has reacted to the announcement in Aberdeen.
