Closed Rescue Package for the United Kingdom Oil & Gas Industry

Closed on

The ongoing decline in oil price have led to thousands of job losses - meaning that families are loosing their source of livelihood. This is a crisis that needs government interventions.

Can the British Government set up a rescue package for the oil industry similar to the 2008 for the bankers.
