Labour — Na h-Eileanan an Iar

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2026

Debate

Rosebank Oilfield: Government Policy

Contribution

It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Mr Twigg. I thank the hon. Member for Bristol Central (Carla Denyer) for securing this timely debate. I begin by agreeing with her and acknowledging the facts that our climate is warming, our seas are rising and our landscape is on fire. That is why this Labour Government are pushing ahead with the transition, a move that, like the wildfires in the Cairngorms, is transforming the landscape and marine horizon in front of our eyes. I am proud to be part of a Labour Government who are committed to renewables. There are 145,000 jobs in renewables, which is more than in the North sea now, at under 21,000.
