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

The shadow Ministers are like the Bourbons: they have forgotten nothing and learned nothing. The reason we took the decision about Jackdaw last week and the reason that I am appropriately cautious in relation to Rosebank, is that there is a process that needs to be followed, following the evidence and reaching a determination. Alas, that was not a process that the Conservatives chose to follow.
