Minister insists fuel supplies not under threat despite oil refinery closure
An energy minister has insisted fuel supplies will not be under threat after no buyer was found for one of Britain's largest oil refineries. State Oil – the parent company of Prax Group, which owns the Lindsey refinery in North Lincolnshire – collapsed into administration last month, putting hundreds of jobs at risk. Michael Shanks pledged to support the workers who are facing redundancy, but said there is little action the Government can take to improve the statutory redundancy offer. Speaking in the Commons, he said: 'We have worked urgently to ensure the safety of the refinery site, the security of fuel supplies and to protect workers. 'This has also allowed time for bidders to express an interest in the site. 'Following a thorough process, the official receiver has rigorously assessed all the bids received and concluded that sale of the business as a whole is not a credible option.' He added: 'A package has been offered to all those directly employed at the refinery, which guarantees their jobs and pay over the coming months. 'And alongside the usual support that is offered to workforces in insolvency situations, the Government will also immediately fund a comprehensive training guarantee for those refinery workers to ensure they have the skills needed and the support to find jobs, for example, in the growing clean energy workforce.' The Lindsey site is one of only five large oil refineries remaining in the UK after the recent closure of the Grangemouth plant in Scotland. Prax Group is led by majority owner and chairman and chief executive Sanjeev Kumar Soosaipillai, who bought the Lindsey oil refinery from French firm Total in 2021. Shadow energy minister Andrew Bowie, who tabled the urgent question, claimed 625 jobs are at risk as he pressed the minister for an update on its investigation into the collapse of the company. He also asked: 'What, if any, assessment has been made into the UK's resilience given the steep reduction in our refining capacity over the past six months? 'What, if any, assessment has been made on the increased reliance on imports that will be necessary as a result of the reduction in British refining capacity?' Mr Shanks said fuel supplies had 'adjusted' in the past few weeks, adding: 'Our assessment suggests there isn't an immediate risk to fuel supplies locally or in the wider area, but we'll continue to monitor that.' On the investigation, he said: 'There is not much I can update the House on at the moment, because the insolvency service is carrying out that investigation.' Conservative MP Martin Vickers, whose Brigg and Immingham constituency includes the oil refinery, said he wanted to see 'the maximum support given to those workers'. Mr Shanks replied: 'We have looked and pushed and pushed to see if there is more action Government can take to change or to give any additional payments. 'It's not possible for Government to do that, not least because the insolvency service has to follow very specific rules in terms of creditors and what their parameters are to operate in the event of an insolvency. 'But I do think the owners of this company have profited from this business, and they should do the right thing by the workforce that delivered that for them.'

General Motors Faces Tariffs Heat, Margins Shrink
General Motors Company slumped in Tuesday's premarket session after reporting a sharp drop in adjusted EBIT margins to 6.4% and a whopping $1.1 billion tariff headwind. The auto behemoth registered second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.53, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.40. Quarterly sales of $47.12 billion outpaced the Street view of $45.57 billion. Net sales in the Automotive segment totaled $42.869 billion, lower than $44.060 billion in the year-ago the U.S. market, the company's market share rose to 17.4% for the second quarter of 2025, a 0.7 percentage point increase year-over-year. For the first half of 2025, U.S. market share stood at 17.3%, growing at a rate that outpaced the overall industry, according to the company press release. 'In the United States, we continue to lead the industry in full-size trucks and SUVs, and the 10 all-new or redesigned crossover SUVs we have introduced like the Chevrolet Trax, Buick Envista, and GMC Acadia took huge leaps forward in design and technology, resulting in record demand and revenue growth, while reduced complexity contributed to stronger profitability,' said CEO Mary Barra in the company's letter to shareholders. Adjusted EBIT margin contracted to 6.4% in the quarter under review from 9.3% in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBIT decreased to $3.037 billion from $4.438 billion primarily due to a net tariff impact of $1.1 billion, with minimal mitigation offsets. Net income margin contracted to 4% from 6.1%. The firm expects the third quarter net tariff impact to exceed that of the second quarter, driven by the timing of indirect tariff costs. The heavier weighting of these costs in the third quarter will result in a higher overall net impact. View more earnings on GM 'In China, the performance of our new energy vehicles has been especially strong, and in the second quarter, we reported our second consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth,' Barra added. 'We gained the most share among foreign OEMs, and we reported positive equity income.' In June, the firm announced $4 billion of new investment in U.S. assembly plants to add 300,000 units of capacity for high-margin light-duty pickups, full-size SUVs, and crossovers. The CEO highlighted that this development will 'unmet customer demand, greatly reduce our tariff exposure, and capture upside opportunities as we launch new models.' The capacity begins coming online in just 18 months, after which General Motors plans to build more than 2 million vehicles in the U.S. each year. The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $22.381 billion, higher than $19.872 billion as of December 31, 2024. Outlook General Motors affirms FY25 adjusted earnings per share guidance of $8.25-$10.00 versus $9.17 analyst estimate. General Motors is keeping its full‑year 2025 guidance unchanged while planning to offset at least 30% of the $4 billion–$5 billion gross tariff impact. It will achieve this mitigation equally through manufacturing adjustments, targeted cost initiatives, and consistent pricing. Price Action: GM shares are trading lower by 2.43% to $51.77 premarket at last check Tuesday.
