Proceeding contribution from Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 March 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Spring Forecast.
Spring Forecast
It is not just an uncertain period for North sea workers; it is a crisis, and it has been a crisis for years. Investment has completely disappeared, jobs are being haemorrhaged and events make it even more clear why we need a home-grown energy supply and why we cannot rely on importing from overseas. Will the Chancellor, as she meets North sea leaders tomorrow, listen to their calls on the energy profits levy, give confidence on the future of the industry and ensure that my constituency and those across the UK do not continue to haemorrhage these jobs?
