Proceeding contribution from Douglas Chapman (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 March 2019. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Future of the Oil and Gas Industry.


Future of the Oil and Gas Industry

My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. Norway’s population is very similar to Scotland’s and it has a similar ability make good from the resource it found on its doorstep. It now has the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, yet in Scotland and the UK we have not put anything aside for future generations. That is a huge lost opportunity for the industry and the UK people.
