David Cameron welcomes BP oil boost to economy

A £4.5bn oil project in the North Sea by BP has been welcomed as a boost to the economy by the Prime Minister.

David Cameron said the investment in the Clair oil field west of the Shetland Islands would help businesses around the country.

BP said it and its partners were now investing almost £10bn in North Sea oil and gas work over the next five years.
