Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2026

Debate

Oil and Gas Sector: Jobs

Contribution

There is a certain irony in the Conservative party lecturing the Government on deindustrialisation in Scotland. In reality, it left an energy system in 2024 that was less secure, more exposed to international shocks, and slower to invest. The hon. Lady’s question might have more credibility had we not agreed Jackdaw just last week.
