Douglas Lumsden: “This result sends a clear message to Labour and the SNP: their war on North Sea oil and gas must end.”

Things have changed now. There is no windfall to tax.

People understand this is a chance for them to send both Labour and the SNP a strong message about the oil and gas industry.

While we still have a need for oil and gas, it’s much better that we produce it in this country, because it’s much better for our economy and also our jobs.

The destruction of the North Sea oil and gas industry must stop now.
