Rishi Sunak and 10 of his ministers have received more than £290,000 from oil and gas companies, Labour analysis claims.
The revelation came in the week it was announced Shell more than doubled its annual profit to £32billion – its biggest result ever.
And it sparked more calls for increased taxes on energy giants to offset April’s rise in fuel bills.
Shadow Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said: “Millions of households are looking at a 40 per cent increase.”
The Labour dossier shows sacked Tory chairman Nadhim Zahawi had a £2,000 donation in 2017 to his local party from Amjad Bseisu, boss of North Sea oil firm EnQuest.
Mr Sunak’s Richmond Conservative Association had £6,000 from former oil baron Alexander Temerko two years earlier – when the Ukrainian was a director of Offshore Group Newcastle.
Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove ’s local Surrey Heath party got £75,000 from Tullow Oil boss Aidan Heavey.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing and all the figures were put to Conservative HQ.
