To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he has made an assessment of the impact of harnessing the UK's domestic energy potential for gas on levels of domestic energy production.
This question was answered on 25th January 2022
The UK has a robust domestic supply of gas from the UK Continental Shelf. It has been operating at 90% or more of its potential capacity for gas production throughout the current winter. This Government, through the North Sea Transition Deal, is ensuring that there is a strong role for the sector in making sure resilience is maintained.
