Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 February 2026

Debate

Energy Profits Levy: Gas Sector

Contribution

There is an aching gap the width of the North sea between what the hon. Member says and what the Conservatives did. The reality is that for all his conversations and protestations now about supporting Scottish oil and gas industry workers, under his Government, we lost a third of the North sea’s workforce. They failed time and again to come up with a plan. It falls to Labour once again to clean up their mess.
