Fuel Oil
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to monitor heating oil supply levels ahead of winter demand periods.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
The Government keeps the security of heating oil supplies, including kerosene, under close and continuous review. The UK benefits from strong and diverse fuel supply chains, with supply available through established domestic and international routes.
The Government works closely with industry to monitor supply, demand and delivery conditions, including through regular engagement with the downstream oil sector and ahead of periods of higher seasonal demand. Government preparedness arrangements are kept under regular review to ensure appropriate contingency planning is in place.
