Labour MPs warn leaders not to overrule energy secretary on Rosebank

Labour backbenchers are lobbying Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Chancellor John Healey not to overrule Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh if she blocks the Rosebank oilfield. Sources say Fahnbulleh is minded to refuse environmental permission, while Healey reportedly favours the project. MPs warn that approving Rosebank would damage Labour's green credentials and contradict its manifesto.
