Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of a ban on diesel exports by the United States on UK consumers; and what preparations she has made to mitigate the impact of such a ban.

On 2 October, G7 Leaders reaffirmed their commitment to refrain from export restrictions on energy and energy products between G7 countries, and called on all producers to refrain from imposing bans that could exacerbate market tensions.

We continue to monitor UK supply and prices closely. the government continues to work closely with stakeholders to ensure long-standing contingency plans are ready in the event of disruption. We recognise the pressures people are facing and are focused on helping keep costs down for families and businesses.
