Conservative — Broadland and Fakenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2026

Debate

Oil and Gas Sector: Jobs

Contribution

The Government spent two and a half years virtue signalling about the North sea. They said there was no future for oil and gas and had a ban on licences, as well as increasing taxation. The result has been 25,000 job losses—1,000 every month and counting—not because of an external shock, but because of a crisis 100% caused by Government policy. When will this Government leave their student politics behind, back British business and get us drilling again?
