On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I apologise for interrupting the business and the 10-minute rule Bill from my hon. Friend the Member for Bolsover (Mark Fletcher). During Prime Minister’s questions, the Leader of the Opposition claimed that Shell had not paid any taxes through the Government’s oil...

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the potential impact of pollution produced by Shell in its crude oil production the Niger Delta on that region.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the potential impact of pollution produced by Shell in its crude oil production the Niger Delta on that region.
The Government regularly discusses with Shell the importance of action to address the risks of pollution from oil production in the Niger Delta.
More generally we have supported initiatives to reduce the impact of oil and gas production in Nigeria. We have encouraged the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (“HYPREP”) to meet the needs of the communities affected by pollution specifically in Ogoniland. The UK has also supported the gas flare penalty regime in Nigeria and the use of satellites to identify fossil fuel facilities that emit methane at high rates.
The UK Government is supporting Nigeria in meeting its ambitious climate change objectives set by its Nationally Determined Contributions and commitment to net-zero by 2060.

Just before turning to my question, the Leader of the House quoted me at the Dispatch Box at the start of her contribution, outlining our support for the National Security Bill. I politely point out that she did leave out the bit where I had to come to this House...

On 5 May, my Rt Hon Friend (the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip) attended a meeting of the Prime Minister’s Business Council in Downing Street. Following the Roundtable a short meeting took place between my Rt Hon Friend and the CEO of Shell who was also in attendance at the Roundtable. The record of the discussion is as follows:
The PM and Ben van Beurden discussed the global energy market and Shell’s investments in the UK.
The problem is that the Prime Minister could not stand up to a run-of-the-mill bully, so he has no chance of standing up to vested interests on behalf of working people. Take Shell, which made record profits this year of £26 billion. How much has it paid under his so-called windfall tax?

I was the Chancellor who introduced an extra tax on the oil and gas companies. The right hon. and learned Gentleman talks about working people, but he voted against legislation to stop strikes disrupting working people, and he voted against legislation to stop extremist protesters disrupting working people, because he is not on the side of working people; that is what the Conservatives are for.

I welcome the Minister to her new role. As we all know, Shell is making windfall profits—more than double those last year. Despite that, it is not paying a penny of the UK’s windfall tax, because of a get-out clause that obscenely incentivises new oil and gas extraction in the UK. Given that we know that drilling for more fossil fuels is incompatible with the target of 1.5°C to avert climate catastrophe, will the Government now remove that loophole?

All matters of tax are for His Majesty’s Treasury, but it is clear that all our formerly fossil fuel companies are indeed energy companies, and they are investing incredibly heavily across the piece in renewables as well. We will continue to work with them to ensure that they invest their profits wisely.

I have said repeatedly that it is absurd to suggest that bringing in gas from abroad, for instance, with higher emissions attached to that and paying billions of pounds for it, is sensible when we can produce it at home. That is why we incentivise investment in the North sea. It is declining, it is a managed decline, and it is compatible with net zero. It is about time that the hon. Lady backed the British economy and British jobs, and did not play politics with this issue.

Shell and BP have announced bumper profits while they have also benefited from a loophole put in place by the now Prime Minister which means they secure taxpayer support for drilling oil in our North sea. Does the Minister think that that is a good decision or a bad decision ahead of the COP27 summit?

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the $9.5 billion quarter three profits reported by Shell and reported comments from that company’s CEO that it is ready for further windfall taxation, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits increasing the Energy Profits Levy.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the $9.5 billion quarter three profits reported by Shell and reported comments from that company’s CEO that it is ready for further windfall taxation, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits increasing the Energy Profits Levy.
The Energy Profits Levy (EPL) was introduced from 26 May in response to sharp increases in oil and gas prices over the past year and to help fund cost of living support for UK households.
The EPL is an additional 25 per cent surcharge on UK oil and gas profits, taking the combined headline tax rate for oil and gas companies operating in the UK and on the UK Continental Shelf to 65 per cent, more than triple the rate paid by other businesses.
As with all taxes, this is kept under review. It would not be appropriate for the Government to comment on the affairs of individual taxpayers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of Shell's proposal to commence seismic blasting on the Wild Coast of South Africa on (a) whales and (b) other marine life in that area.

The issue of seismic exploration off the east coast of South Africa is before the judiciary in South Africa. The UK will continue to track developments.

Development proposals for oil fields under existing licences are a matter for the regulators - the North Sea Transition Authority and the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED). As part of that regulatory process, OPRED complete an Environmental Impact Assessment and a public consultation on any proposal. OPRED’s decision on the Environmental Impact Assessment for Jackdaw will be made in due course.
The emissions reduction targets in the North Sea Transition Deal are monitored by the North Sea Transition Authority. Emissions from any new fields as production comes on stream would be taken into account in continuing to ensure the targets in the Deal are met.
