Labour — Alloa and Grangemouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 October 2025

Debate

North Sea Oil and Gas Industry

Contribution

Incredibly, it is now eight months since the Prime Minister announced £200 million from the National Wealth Fund for the industrial future of Grangemouth. I have had meetings with numerous companies that have proposals and are, frankly, impatient to get started. When will this money be spent, and when will those jobs come to my town? All there is to show for it so far are the bones of an unjust transition and industrial devastation.
