Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 20 May 2024 to Question 52063 on a pump watch petrol price comparison platform, if he will implement a statutory open data scheme for fuel prices.

The Motor Fuel Price (Open Data) Regulations 2025, which provide the statutory footing for the Fuel Finder scheme, came into force on 18 December 2025. Registration to Fuel Finder has now launched for all petrol stations across the UK. Price reporting obligations for retailers will commence on 2 February and will require all petrol stations in the UK to report their prices within 30 minutes of a change.

Motorists will begin to see the benefits of Fuel Finder later this year as near‑real‑time price data is made available to consumer app and navigational service providers.
