BP Profits
Carla Lockhart MP • February 7, 2023
“Last week it was Shell announcing records profits. This week we have BP outlining their bumper profits."
Again it poses the question as to the functioning of the supply chain, and how the end user – the motorist, or homeowner – appears to be paying an unfair chunk of that supply chain, whilst the energy companies bank record profits.
Consumers want fairness and I think it is time for the Government to explore if supply chains are operating fairly. And again, if the Government wish to levy tax on fuel, it should be looking at the energy companies and not foisting an increase in fuel duty on the consumer as the Chancellor has speculated. He should scrap any plan to increase fuel duty immediately.”
