Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has assessed the number of commercial flights that would not be cancelled by banning private jet flights to save fuel.
Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government is working closely with industry and regulators to ensure the resilience of jet fuel supply and the continuity of commercial aviation operations. There has been no evidence of changes in flight schedules or short notice cancellations due to fuel shortage in the UK. We are engaging with industry partners to monitor supply and demand, and to develop contingency options should disruption arise.
Private jets are used for a variety of reasons such as medical and emergency response, specialised industry logistics, government and military use as well as corporate and leisure flights. They account for only a small proportion of overall jet fuel use - in the region of 1-1.5% of fuel - so any restriction would likely have only a limited effect in conserving fuel for commercial aviation.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for his policies of reports that Israel is modernising its nuclear weapons programme.
Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK's longstanding position on these questions was set out by the previous government on 27 November 2023 in their answer to Question 2945, which - for ease of reference - is reproduced below:
"Israel has never declared a nuclear weapons programme. The UK Government continues to encourage Israel to sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as a Non-Nuclear Weapon State. We regularly monitor all global nuclear developments and will continue to work with international partners to strengthen the non-proliferation regime and advance multilateral nuclear disarmament. The UK Government closely follows the security situation in the Middle East and maintains a regular dialogue with international counterparts."
