The Rt Hon. the Lord Redwood House of Lords London SW1A 0PW 28 April 2026
As Permanent Secretary of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many jobs have been lost in the last year in the oil, gas, petrochemicals, refining and general chemical sectors (HL16637).
In December 2025, in the UK, there were an estimated 10,000 workforce jobs1 in the mining of coal and lignite; extraction of crude petrol/gas sector (standard industrial classification (SIC) divisions 05-06), a decrease of 2,000 compared with December 2024.
In December 2025, in the UK, there were an estimated 8,000 workforce jobs1 in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products sector (standard industrial classification (SIC) division 19), a decrease of 2,000 compared with December 2024.
In December 2025, in the UK, there were 99,000 workforce jobs2 in the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products sector (standard industrial classification (SIC) division 20), an increase of 2,000 compared with December 2024.
A full time series of data can be found in Table 1. Please note that these data are not seasonally adjusted.

Electricity: Prices
Asked by: Lord Redwood (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 28th April 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total tax they receive, including carbon levies and windfall taxes, on each kilowatt-hour of delivered retail electricity generated by gas at current prices. Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) Whilst Carbon Price Support and Emissions Trading Scheme comprise the total carbon price applied to electricity generators, this does not translate into a single per kilowatt-hour tax rate on delivered retail electricity. It is therefore not possible to provide a single figure for the total tax received per kWh of delivered retail electricity generated by gas from carbon levies.
