RISHI Sunak has been urged to ban new oil and gas developments in the North Sea after he reversed Tory plans to give a green light to fracking.
During her brief spell in office, his predecessor Liz Truss provoked a storm of controversy after announcing she would effectively lift a ban on the process - which was introduced over concerns about earth tremors - as part of her plans to address the energy crisis.
However the Scottish Government, which is responsible for issuing licences, said its policy against fracking would not change.
