00:00 Much to my surprise this morning, it has been widely reported that the Conservative party
00:04 in Scotland are absolutely furious that Westminster is about to tax Scotland's natural resources
00:13 in order to pay for a tax cut in England. Is the Prime Minister in danger of turning
00:21 his colleagues into nationalists?
00:23 Mr Speaker, obviously I wouldn't comment on the Budget, but what I would say is, when
00:32 I was in Scotland last week, it was crystal clear. There has only ever been one party
00:36 consistently standing up for the North Sea energy industry, and it's the Scottish Conservatives.
