About this video

Andy Burnham will announce plans for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea when he becomes prime minister, the BBC has been told. The Labour Party's 2024 manifesto - which the new leader said he would follow - had pledged to not issue new licences but to honour existing ones. It is understood that the announcement will form part of a flurry of measures from Burnham, including plans to take water and energy companies under public control and a new council house-building programme. As he prepares to take over from Keir Starmer on Monday, the Makerfield MP is also expected to announce his new cabinet.
