Ian Murray

Labour — Edinburgh South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 June 2025

Debate

North Sea Oil and Gas Licences: Economic Growth

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman shakes his head, but he was the Energy Minister. Indeed, as my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West (Dr Arthur) may remember, the leader of the SNP in Westminster, the right hon. Member for Aberdeen South (Stephen Flynn), did not support the levy, then did, then did not, and then put in the SNP’s manifesto that it would be extended to every single Scottish industry. I am at a loss, as is my hon. Friend.
