Oil: Refineries
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Friday 11th July 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how much (a) has been spent to date and (b) he expects to spend on measures to continue the operation of the Prax Lindsey Oil Refinery. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) As I sent out in my Written Ministerial Statement on 1 July 2025, the Government is providing the Official Receiver with short-term funding to cover the essential operating costs of the refinery as a result of the unexpected insolvency of the company. The final operating cost will depend on market conditions and the strategy adopted by the Official Receiver, and this will be subject to close scrutiny and governance by the Government and the insolvency office holders. This funding is necessary to provide the Official Receiver with the necessary tools to fulfil their statutory duties and to avoid an immediate, unsafe shutdown of the refinery. |

Motor Vehicles: Lighting
Asked by: Graham Leadbitter (Scottish National Party - Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey) Thursday 17th July 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of a public information campaign for drivers of vehicles fitted with daytime running lights of the need to manually switch on their rear lights when weather conditions necessitate. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Road vehicle lighting is governed by combination of national and international regulations. As per the advice in the Highway Code drivers must use appropriate vehicle lighting for the prevailing conditions and should ensure that they are familiar with the operation of all vehicle controls.
No assessment has been made of the merits of a public information campaign to support the correct use of daytime running lamps.
