The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of supplies of Liquefied Natural Gas between January and April 2025.

Answered by Michael Shanks

We are confident that we will attract sufficient supplies of Liquified Natural Gas between January and April 2025. In their 2024/25 Winter Outlook, National Gas, the Gas System Operator, noted that they expect the market to deliver LNG supplies to the UK when needed, evidenced in previous years, as prices shift to attract necessary cargoes. We have seen this occur over the first half of winter 2024/25 and expect this to continue over the second half.
