The outgoing BP chief executive Tony Hayward defended the firm's safety record in the North Sea today, insisting recent criticisms had not exposed "any fundamental weakness".

In his first UK appearance since the Deepwater Horizon explosion, Hayward told a committee of MPs that disaster had been personally "devastating" because he had made safety the firm's top priority.

But he was forced to explain why inspections on BP's North Sea installations found some did not comply with guidelines over regular training for operators on how to respond to an incident.

Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) inspectors also found the firm had not conducted oil spill exercises properly at some of its offshore sites.
