Read the original article on bbc.com (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports the split within Labour over whether to approve the Rosebank oil field, quoting MPs who back approval, MPs who oppose it, and government ministers. It attributes the contested claims for and against approval to the people making them, gives the base for its count of MPs backing a letter against Rosebank, and states the UK's net zero and 1.5C commitments and the court ruling that led to the fresh decision.
“more than 60 out of about 400 Labour MPs”
The BBC gives the base alongside the count, so the reader can judge how large the opposition within the parliamentary party actually is.
“the Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled last year that the government had made the approvals unlawfully”
The article explains why the decision is being taken afresh, naming the court and its finding rather than leaving the earlier approvals to look settled.
“The UK is committed to reaching net zero by 2050 and wants to limit global warming to no more than 1.5C above the pre-industrial period.”
The BBC states the UK's climate commitments accurately in its own voice, giving the reader the yardstick against which the MPs' compatibility arguments are made.
