Conservative — Spelthorne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 March 2025

Debate

North Sea Energy

Contribution

BP’s global headquarters are in my constituency. As the Minister meets industry “all the time”, to use her words, she will be fully aware that it announced a major reset last month, whereby it is increasing its investment in upstream oil and gas to the tune of $10 billion a year from next year. That is investors’ money, not taxpayers’ money. Is the Minister not concerned that by making Britain a hostile environment for oil and gas extraction, we are simply kissing away that investment to overseas?
