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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2022 to question 143735 Diesel Fuel: Russia, whether imports of DERV from Russia will be prohibited under plans to prohibit imports of Russian oil.

The UK has committed to phasing out Russian oil by the end of 2022. The Government established a new joint taskforce with industry to work together in an orderly transition.

In the case of diesel, UK demand is met by a combination of domestic production and imports from a diverse range of reliable suppliers beyond Russia including the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and the USA.
