PM expected to reveal Aberdeen City Region Deal

David Cameron's told Prime Minister's Questions he'll be in Aberdeen on Thursday to look at ways of helping the oil and gas sector

Published 27th Jan 2016

The Prime Minister's coming to Aberdeen tomorrow - as the North Sea struggles with the deepening oil price crisis.

We're expecting David Cameron to confirm details of the City Region Deal for the North East - which could be worth almost £3 billion.

He says they're doing what they can to prevent a collapse of the country's oil and gas sector.

The Scottish Secretary David Mundell will also be meeting with the oil industry in Aberdeen tomorrow.

Next month he'll be in Mozambique to help strengthen links with the African country, which has extensive gas fields offshore.

It's hoped North East firms will be able to export their skills there, to keep afloat during the North Sea slump.
