Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on North Sea Oil and Gas (Taxation).


North Sea Oil and Gas (Taxation)

I congratulate the hon. Member for Waveney (Mr. Blizzard) on putting forward a strong case for the importance of the industry. In his opening remarks, he mentioned that there had not been anything for the industry in the Budget. The Chancellor rarely mentions the industry, but he has mentioned the falling revenues that he now receives from it. Does that not highlight again the importance of ensuring the best possible investment climate, so that future generations secure the best tax revenue from the industry?
