Proceeding contribution from Lord Swire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 November 2009. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Energy and Climate Change and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Energy and Climate Change and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

When the right hon. Gentleman was the Minister for Energy, we debated the issue of North sea oil and how economically sustainable it was. At the time, we discussed the incentives to Scottish drilling companies, as opposed to English drilling companies. Is he convinced that we are providing enough incentive to companies that may wish to explore in the North sea to reach oil that otherwise might be uneconomic?
