Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Security of Supply.
Security of Supply
We have issued more licences in the past year than ever before—a record number. In regard to the tax regime, all Governments have to strike the right balance between the amount of tax relief that they give to companies exploiting this natural resource and the interests of the country in which it is found. The Chancellor said in his pre-Budget report that the tax regime should change, but he also gave a guarantee that there would be no further changes during this Parliament.
