Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total amount of (1) oil and (2) gas extracted from the North Sea and then used in the UK for each of the years 2021–22, 2022–3, 2023–24, 2024–25 and 2025–26.

Answered by Lord Whitehead

Data are presented in the table below. Production is the amount extracted from the North Sea along with small amounts of onshore production. Refinery receipts represent crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and process oils (i.e. partly refined oils) as received by UK refineries. Receipts can be processed or go into stock for later use at the refinery or exports. Indigenous refinery receipts represent crude oil and NGLs received by refineries from UK production. For gas, due to the interconnected nature of gas pipeline infrastructure and the consequent mixing of UK continental shelf production and imports it is not possible to determine exactly what proportion of indigenously produced gas is used domestically.

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the negative financial impact on businesses in Northern Ireland of the new tariffs on steel products produced in Great Britain from 1 July.

Answered by Lord Stockwood

The Government has set out that specific arrangements will be in place to facilitate the movement of steel to Northern Ireland. We will continue to provide guidance on these arrangements and support traders moving goods through the Trader Support Service. This approach is consistent with the Government’s commitment in the Steel Strategy to tackling steel over capacity, and working with our international partners to do so.

The legislation implementing the new measure includes explanatory memoranda which set out how this measure will impact different types of businesses.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what difficulties they are aware of businesses or consumers encountering that arise from the new arrangements for the movement of parcels from Great Britain to Northern Ireland implemented on 1 May 2025.

Answered by Lord Livermore

The Government introduced important new arrangements for freight and parcels movements on 1 May 2025 ensuring goods continue to move smoothly from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. The arrangements were successfully implemented without significant impact on flow of goods into Northern Ireland, the new arrangements protect the vast majority of consumer parcels from customs declarations and duty.

HMRC were aware of a small number of cases where express operators charged duty incorrectly on business-to-business parcels. HMRC have worked with express operators and wider industry to minimise these instances.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the negative impact of wildfires on natural habitats and protected species.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

This Government recognises that wildfires can cause significant damage to natural habitats and protected species, across a wide range of habitats. To address this, this Government is strengthening its approach to wildfire resilience. Defra is working with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, the lead department on wildfire, to improve cross-Government coordination across the full wildfire cycle, from risk assessment and prevention through to response and recovery. This Government is also investing in peatland restoration, landscape-scale habitat recovery and stronger protections for upland peat. These measures are designed to improve resilience and support biodiversity recovery.
