New British Prime Minister, New North Sea Rules?

So the United Kingdom will get a new Prime Minister a lot sooner than many people anticipated, and it will not be the oil industry minister Andrea Leadsom. She was one of two candidates for the leadership of the governing Conservative Party but withdrew from the race unexpectedly on Monday, leaving the way clear for the current Home Secretary, Theresa May, to become the new party leader. Mrs May will kiss hands with the Queen and walk past that famous black door into 10 Downing Street on Wednesday afternoon.

Going from a junior ministerial role outside the Cabinet to the very top job in British politics was too much of a leap in the end for Mrs Leadsom, but her strong media performance on the winning side of the EU referendum campaign suggests she is destined for greater things. So, in due course, Britain is also likely to have a new minister for the North Sea.
