Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate he has made of the volume of Russian oil transported through the English Channel by UK‑sanctioned tankers in the last 12 months.

Deterring and disrupting the Russian shadow fleet is a priority for the UK, and the UK Government will continue to proactively monitor tanker activity to ensure the safety of seafarers, protect the marine environment, and for national security purposes. The volume of Russian oil transiting the English Channel is not data the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero owns.
