The UK Government is being “cautious” about making public announcements over its decisions on the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields in order to avoid the “mistakes” of the previous government, the Scottish Secretary has said.

On Thursday Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh told a conference in London that a decision on whether to give the green light to the Jackdaw gas field is “imminent”.
