Debate between Martin Docherty-Hughes and Kwasi Kwarteng

Tuesday 22nd February 2022 Commons Chamber

[Martin Docherty-Hughes (West Dunbartonshire) (SNP)]

The Government hate a monopoly, so can the Minister come to the Dispatch Box and tell my constituents who are former employees of Together Energy why his Government are using the energy crisis to create an energy monopoly by the big players, as opposed to small and medium-sized providers?

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

As I have maintained on a number of occasions, the hon. Gentleman’s party is a jobs destroyer in the energy sector, refusing to countenance any investment in the North sea, and in alliance with the Greens, who want to destroy jobs in the sector.
