Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Wicks (Labour) 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

I am pleased that, in the last year or so, the fiscal regime has become more sensitive to the current position of the UK continental shelf. The Prime Minister asked me to make recommendations, and I recommended that fiscal sensitivity to the North sea—the sheer cost of certain explorations—should be borne in mind by the Government. I think that I am on the same page as the hon. Gentleman.
