The United Kingdom government is expected to postpone a decision on the North Sea's Jackdaw gas field until late autumn, The Telegraph reported on Friday, citing Whitehall sources.
Approval had reportedly been anticipated as early as Monday but is now expected after the October 8 Holborn and St Pancras by-election, where Labour faces a challenge from the Green Party. The delay would also move the decision beyond Labour's conference later this month.
However, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero denied that a timetable had been agreed, stressing that the decision formally rests with Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh. US President Donald Trump claimed the action would solve British energy problems and make the country wealthy.
