Proceeding contribution from Douglas Ross (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 January 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill.
Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill
I was hoping to intervene when the right hon. Gentleman was talking about jobs and investment, because he quoted an awful lot of people. Why did he not quote Sir Ian Wood, who said that Labour’s plans for the North sea oil and gas industry would
“place in jeopardy tens of thousands of jobs”.
David Whitehouse, the chief executive of Offshore Energy UK, said that Labour’s plans would “create a cliff edge”, deterring investment and heightening our risk of energy shortages. Why did he not mention those people?
