LABOUR Manefesto 2024 Quote :
“We will not issue new licences to explore new fields because they will not take a penny off bills, cannot
make us energy secure, and will only accelerate the worsening climate crisis. In addition, we will
not grant new coal licences and will ban fracking for good.
To support investment in this plan, Labour will close the loopholes in the windfall tax on oil and gas
companies. Companies have benefitted from enormous profits not because of their ingenuity or investment, but because of an energy shock which raised prices for British families. Labour will
therefore extend the sunset clause in the Energy Profits Levy until the end of the next parliament. We will also increase the rate of the levy by three percentage points, as well as removing the unjustifiably generous investment allowances. Labour will also retain the Energy Security Investment Mechanism. investment”
