Miliband poised for U-turn on North Sea drilling ban

Energy Secretary intends to water down flagship pledge made in Labour’s election manifesto

Ed Miliband is poised to reverse Labour’s ban on new oil and gas drilling amid mounting pressure from unions and fears that it is hurting the economy.

The Energy Secretary is preparing to soften a flagship pledge made in his party’s election manifesto not to “issue new licences to explore new fields” in the North Sea after companies blamed the policy for a string of production cuts and job losses.

It is also strongly opposed by Labour’s allies at the GMB union, with Gary Smith, the general secretary, claiming earlier this year that it was “absolute madness” to restrict investment in the North Sea.

Mr Miliband confirmed he intended to press ahead with the proposed ban on new drilling as recently as March.

But he is now considering watering down the policy by allowing “tie-backs” – new fields adjacent to existing ones – to be approved, according to The Sunday Times

Receiving over 50% of the value of the company with the sale of HSS Ireland didnt rattle many trees.

I can’t believe the Irish element was 50% of the business so you have to assume this was good business, as long as the money is used wisely .

People said a labour government would be good for UK………

Why has this share lost so much over the last two days?

Did people expect fantastic results, so bought on the rumour and sold when we got good results?

It makes no sense?

A potential shooting was in the Middle East and the share price goes down!

Is there any logic to the stock marke?

Up1%

As you say, who can understand the stock markets.

I think cd is right, wow.

have never seen such silence after an update like this. Where are all the rompers?

Buyback is about 10% of shares available, so should push the shares price up up (in theory). Also should have the same effect on the dividend (in theory).

But I have never seen a buy back work out in the shareholders favour

Did the last results warrant a 35% decline in share price?

How much damage did Phil and Nick do to this company?

I hope there is no share buy back.

I know it is supposed to result in higher share price and increased dividends. But the shares I have had never seem to get these benefits.

Thanks for the very useful link Savage.

As an HL customer I was more concerned about the 0.45% annual management fee.

Are not for share growth, they are for tax benefits

I have just exercised my Rockhopper warrants with Hargreaves lansdowne.

They said it will take up to six weeks to process.

So if people are with HL, don’t leave it too late to exercise your warrants. If you do it in November/December you may not get them.

Seems positive.

Using the contract compensation to boost the bank account seems very sensible.

Are we due good news tomorrow? What is needed to turn this company around?

I guess steady boring growth. Trouble is we never see this.

“This time next year we will be millionaires”

Still waiting……..
