Gordon MP Colin Clark
A push towards divesting MP pension pots away from oil and gas has been strongly criticised by a north-east MP.
Liberal Democrat MP Sir Ed Davey intends to call on all MPs to consider the “the financial and ethical risks” of investing in big North Sea firms at Westminster today.
