Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to his Department’s press release entitled Chancellor and Energy Secretary meet with fuel bosses in No11 as government order crackdown on pump prices, published on 13 March 2026, what proportion of petrol forecourts are currently providing real-time price data to the Government’s Fuel Finder scheme.
There are currently approximately 7,400 petrol filling stations (PFSs) registered with Fuel Finder (approximately 90% of UK PFSs). Over 80% of UK PFSs have updated at least one price within the past week.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is responsible for enforcing Fuel Finder, but has confirmed that until at least May 2026, its focus will be on supporting retailers to comply, rather than enforcement.
