Uma Kumaran

Labour — Stratford and Bow

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 June 2026

Debate

North Sea Oil and Gas

Contribution

The oil industry and fossil fuel lobbyists want us to believe that we need to take them on the journey with us. The case for renewables is there. At the moment, however, the voices for the renewables industry and more sustainable energy sources are being drowned out by those who want us to preserve the system that we already have.
