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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether new direct financial or promotional support for the fossil fuel energy sector overseas will be approved by UK Export Finance during the consultation process on aligning UK international support for the clean energy transition.

As my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister stated in his announcement on 12 December 2020, the Government will continue to apply current policy for all in-scope activities, until the new policy is implemented following the consultation.
