Proceeding contribution from Rupa Huq (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 February 2022. It occurred during Opposition day on Oil and Gas Producers: Windfall Tax.


Oil and Gas Producers: Windfall Tax

Does not my right hon. Friend agree that the Government’s version of the energy price cap, along with “use it or lose it” penalties on developers, banning letting fees for tenants and gender pay gap reporting, have his fingerprints all over them from our 2015 Labour manifesto, but that, unfortunately, they have made the schoolboy error

of copying homework incorrectly? That is why we now need a windfall tax to rectify those errors. In a parallel universe—the Miliverse—this was done right, but sadly it has been done all wrong by them!
