英国能源大臣米亚塔·法恩布勒关于是否批准北海杰克多气田的决定被推迟至秋季晚些时候1。这一延期决定引发绿党批评，指控劳工党在霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯补选前隐瞒立场，该补选定于10月8日举行，绿党领导人扎克·波兰斯基为该选区的候选人1。
延迟公布决定意在避免在补选和劳工党大会期间激化争议1。虽然劳工党承诺禁止北海新钻井许可证，但杰克多和罗斯班克两个项目正在寻求现有许可证的环境批准，这些许可证早已颁发，并不违反劳工党的承诺1。咨询期已于上月截止，法恩布勒目前正在审议相关建议1。
绿党领导人波兰斯基表示："劳工党谈论改变，但这是越来越坏的改变。我们面临气候危机，但劳工党却站在化石燃料公司一方"1。环保人士估计这两个气田将造成约3360亿英镑的经济损失，且计划产出英国石油和天然气产量的10%1。
Britain's Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh is expected to postpone her decision on whether to approve the Jackdaw gasfield in the North Sea until later in autumn, timing that would come after the Holborn and St Pancras byelection scheduled for October 8, 2024.1 The delay appears designed to avoid controversy during the byelection campaign and Labour Party conference, despite the government's 2019 election pledge to ban new drilling licenses in the North Sea.1
The Jackdaw and Rosebank projects are seeking environmental approval under existing licenses rather than pursuing new permits, a distinction that does not technically violate Labour's campaign commitment.1 Together, these two gasfields are planned to supply approximately 10 percent of Britain's oil and gas output.1 Environmental campaigners have argued that developing these fields would result in around £336 billion in economic losses.1 The consultation period on the matter closed last month, and Fahnbulleh is currently reviewing the submissions received.1
The Green Party has accused Labour of concealing its position ahead of the byelection, in which party leader Zachariah King Polyansky is standing as a candidate.1 "Labour talks about change, but this is change for the worse. We have a climate crisis but Labour is taking the side of fossil fuel corporations," Polyansky stated.1
