Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will review the TotalEnergies-commissioned assessment by Jean-Christophe Rufin of the humanitarian situation in the Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique before taking a decision on whether to release UKEF support for Mozambique LNG ahead of operations restarting this year.

Officials from UK Export Finance (UKEF) have not seen the assessment but will review it when it becomes available. The declaration by TotalEnergies of force majeure remains in place. Officials from UK Export Finance are monitoring the situation closely.
