Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the impact of rising global gas prices on achieving the Government's net zero targets; and what steps he plans to take to mitigate that impact.

The UK's exposure to volatile gas prices reinforces the importance of the government’s plans for a strong renewable energy sector to strengthen the UK’s future energy security and resilience.

The Government will shortly set out an energy supply strategy which will drive forward renewable energy and nuclear capacity to bolster domestic supply and help drive down energy costs.
