A new report from the GMB Union has claimed that exports of North Sea gas more than doubled at the end of the year, and therefore is calling for emergency legislation to ring fence a fair share to ease the cost of living crisis.
The call comes as ministers prepare to publish an Energy Supply Strategy before the end of the month.
The UK exported 32.5 GWh of natural gas in the fourth quarter of 2021 - up 159% on the year before - as prices were higher and Norwegian exports were lower.
