"I can't see where the downside is to Britain. At the end of the day the oil is still under the UK continental shelf. It's not like it's being siphoned off and popped away in some vault half way round the world."

Mr Hendry will spend this week in talks with his Norwegian counterpart about how to maximise oil and gas extraction in the North Sea and improve safety standards.
