(asked on 18th March 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that older high octane fuel will continue to be available in Northern Ireland alongside E5 and E10 fuel after 1 July 2021 in relation to the Northern Ireland Protocol.
This question was answered on 25th March 2021
The roll out of E10 petrol in the standard 95-octane petrol grade in September 2021 will be preceded by legislation requiring that E5 remains available in the higher 97-octane petrol grade. In line with our obligations under the Northern Ireland Protocol we will notify the European Commission of our intention in advance.
