Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2026

Debate

Oil and Gas Sector: Jobs

Contribution

Alas, we did not get much gratitude from the party in power in Edinburgh that failed to deliver a publicly owned energy company, and we have now delivered this energy wealth fund.
