Proceeding contribution from Frank Dobson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fuel Poverty Bill.
Fuel Poverty Bill
I am saying that it would be affordable, and if we introduced a windfall tax just on Shell and BP, we could pay for it. However, no doubt some of the people contributing to the Tory party—be they bankers or those in the energy industries—would be very upset and would say to the Leader of the Opposition, "Don't do horrible things like that. That would be most unfair on our shareholders, and we might not be able to help in future." Such discussions, I understand, do go on.
