Tories and SNP 'ignoring nationalisation' in North Sea oil debate
Scottish Socialist Party argues Scotland's energy resources should be publicly owned
Warring Tory and SNP politicians were accused yesterday of ignoring the best way of securing Scotland’s oil and gas wealth for the people.
The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) declared that the wealth of the North Sea must be taken into public ownership — instead of being left to “profit-hungry” multinational corporations.
SSP spokesman Ken Ferguson said that Scottish control of North Sea oil as proposed by the SNP government would be “a step forward.”
