Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 June 2026

Debate

Renewables Sector: Employment

Contribution

Look at the work being done, and the investment being made, by Iberdrola and ScottishPower. The hon. Gentleman shakes his head, but that is real investment delivering real jobs. If he would like to comment further on this issue, perhaps he would like to apologise for the abject absence of a plan from the previous Conservative Government on the North sea, which explains the fact that they lost 70,000 jobs on their watch.
