Liberal Democrat — South Cambridgeshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2026

Debate

Rosebank Oilfield: Government Policy

Contribution

It is very hard to look my children and the next generation in the eyes as we debate this issue. The Met Office has confirmed that, as a result of burning fossil fuels, we are now living in a changed climate. The UK’s independent climate advisers acknowledge that the UK will continue to need some oil and gas until it reaches net zero, but they are clear that “this does not in itself justify the development of new North Sea fields”.
