SNP MP clashes with Tory minister over tax incentives for oil and gas firms
29.11.2022 - 17:45 / dailyrecord.co.uk
An SNP MP and Business Secretary Grant Shapps clashed in the House of Commons over tax incentives for the fossil fuel industry in the UK.
Stephen Flynn, the SNP's business spokesman, pressed the Conservative minister earlier today saying it was "remarkable" that children in Scotland face fuel poverty despite it producing "more energy than it requires".
He also pressed Shapps on whether ministers will provide the same tax incentives for the renewable sector as they will for the fossil fuel industry
The MP for Aberdeen South said: "It's a remarkable state of affairs, a nation (Scotland) which produces more energy than it requires faces child fuel poverty, a result of the actions of this Government.
"In order to alleviate this crisis in the medium to long term what we need from this UK Government is not investment in nuclear, we need investment in clean, sustainable, renewable industry.
"So in that regard, can I welcome his U-turn in respect of onshore wind, but also seek clarity, will he provide the same tax incentives for the renewable sector as he will for the fossil fuel industry?"
Shapps hit back saying the UK Government has a "very proud record" when it comes to renewables.
He said: "They don't like the answers that I'm giving because the amounts of money that we are spending supporting including Scots with the energy bills this year means that for example, the average single parent on means tested benefit will be £1050 better off because of the energy bills support scheme.
"So yes, we are doing our part perhaps it's time they look at their own policy to make sure they're encouraging energy production."
