Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2026

Debate

UK Energy Independence

Contribution

Scotland remains at the very heart of the UK’s energy system. Just last week, I was at St Fergus alongside the Energy Secretary to approve the Jackdaw gasfield, paving the way for domestic gas to flow ashore in the coming weeks. Over the course of 2025, nearly two thirds of Britain’s electricity came from clean sources, creating skilled jobs across Scotland, meeting our climate obligations and strengthening our energy independence.
