00:00Edmund Urban's plan to ban new drilling would make us the only country in the world shutting down our own energy supplies.
00:08Up to 200,000 jobs and 12 billion pounds in tax revenue lost. Why?
00:13So that we can import more gas from Norway from the same fields that we could drill ourselves.
00:19Our imports of liquefied gas have soared by over 40% in a single year.
00:25So, conference, I can tell you this. As long as we need gas, as much as possible should come from Britain.
00:38That's why we will scrap Ed's mad ban on new oil and gas licenses.
00:43We will reverse the energy profits levy and we will back the North Sea.
00:51We'll remember what has been forgotten for too long.
00:55Energy is prosperity.
