Ed Miliband

Labour — Doncaster North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 July 2025

Debate

Clean Power: Jobs

Contribution

The answer is that we are not. As the right hon. Gentleman knows, the reality is that the North sea has been a basin in decline and that 70,000 jobs were lost under the previous Government. The question is: do we create the jobs of the future as well as maintaining existing fields for their lifetime? This Government are committed to doing so. If he wants to see those jobs, he should support our plans.
