The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with her European counterparts on the potential impact of jet fuel shortages on travel between the United Kingdom and mainland Europe.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Government is monitoring the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on fuel supplies, including jet fuel. In coordination with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero we have worked with fuel suppliers, airlines and airports to understand levels of jet fuel and pricing.

Officials are engaging with international counterparts to monitor the situation and plan accordingly and are keeping Ministers briefed as necessary.
