    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Lucas on 2014-06-11.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether Ministers or officials of his Department have (a) met the Attorney General of Nigeria since January 2012 and (b) had any conversations about the sale of the OPL 245 oil concession in Nigeria involving Shell and ENI with (i) the Attorney General of Nigeria and (ii) any other senior official of the Nigerian government.

    Mark Simmonds

    No FCO Ministers have met the Nigerian Attorney General since January 2012. Given the range and frequency of meetings between FCO officials with the Nigerian Attorney General, I am unable to offer a full list of them. The Metropolitan Police Proceeds of Corruption Unit are investigating complaints made about the case of oil block OPL-245 in Nigeria. Because this is an on-going investigation, it would not be appropriate to comment any further.

    Caroline Lucas – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

    The comments made by Caroline Lucas, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    Anything other than a #GeneralElection2022 is undemocratic. It’s not just Liz Truss’ breathtaking incompetence, it’s the chaos & division amongst the Tory MPs behind her and anyone else they pretend is a “unity” candidate to replace her. 3 Tory PMs & 4 chancellors in 1 year? No.

    Caroline Lucas – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Caroline Lucas, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    Hunt smoothly says he’ll take “whatever tough decisions are necessary” after saying there’d be public service cuts – why are such “difficult” decisions always on the backs of poorest & public services, when instead he could take the “difficult” decision to up taxes on wealthiest?

    Caroline Lucas – 2022 Comments on the Dismissal of Kwasi Kwarteng

    The comments made by Caroline Lucas, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, on Twitter on 14 October 2022.

    Throwing out one bad apple in Kwarteng doesn’t undo damage that an entirely rotten tree of a Liz Truss Govt has done to economy, international relations, natural environment & so much more, after barely 40 days in office.

    We didn’t vote for this – we need a #GeneralElectionNow.
