Written Answers
Russia: Liquefied Natural Gas
Asked by: John Whittingdale (Conservative - Maldon)
Monday 19th October 2026

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether the Government will allow the General Trade Licence for the maritime transportation of Russian liquefied natural gas to expire on 1 January 2027 without extension or replacement; and if he will commit to not introducing further licences or exemptions permitting UK firms to provide insurance, financial or other maritime services connected with Russian LNG after that date.

Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) (Jointly with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The General Trade Licence remains under continual review and is set to expire on 1 January 2027. The licence authorises the maritime transportation of, and ancillary services in connection to, Russian LNG under short-term supply contracts. From 1 January, the trade in Russian LNG will be further restricted as the maritime services ban extends to cover long-term supply contracts.

The Government is maintaining pressure on Russia's gas sector by strengthening sanctions. On 1 October, we sanctioned 8 LNG vessels and Russian gas company Novatek Gas and Power Asia.

Park Homes: Sales
Asked by: John Whittingdale (Conservative - Maldon)
Tuesday 20th October 2026

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what his proposed timetable is for publishing the summary of responses to the call for evidence on park home sales commission.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

The government recognise that there are longstanding concerns about the requirement to pay site owners a commission upon sale of a park home.

The previous government published a report in June 2022 on the impact of a change in the maximum park home sale commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.

On 5 March 2026, my Department published a 12-week call for evidence regarding the rationale for the payment of a commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.

We are currently analysing the feedback received and remain committed to publishing a detailed summary of responses ahead of announcing the government's final position by the end of the year.
