Nicola Sturgeon told ‘pick a side’ as Tories force vote on oil and gas

The SNP has been urged to back the Cambo oil field off Shetland, ahead of a vote brought forward by the Scottish Conservatives.

Nicola Sturgeon will be put under pressure to ‘pick a side’ during Wednesday’s Holyrood debate on the future of the North Sea sector and 100,000 jobs the oil and gas sector supports.

The debate comes ahead of COP26 President Alok Sharma appearing remotely before MSPs to discuss plans for the upcoming climate change conference in Glasgow.
