Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2025

Debate

Energy Security: North Sea Gas and Oil

Contribution

Where to begin? We have a Government that have invested in GB Energy and that have a transition fund up against an Opposition that abjectly failed in their responsibilities towards the North sea. We just heard from my hon. Friend the Member for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Torcuil Crichton) that 77,000 jobs were lost. That is the record that they own, and we will continue to point it out.
