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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether in negotiating the UK’s exit from the EU they plan to seek for the UK to be included in any EU regulations on the security of gas supply in times of crisis, as set out in the European Commission’s Proposal for a Regulation concerning measures to safeguard the security of gas supply and repealing Regulation (EU) No 994/2010.

While the UK remains a member of the EU the existing rules apply and new legislation that applies to the UK will be implemented.

It will be for the new Prime Minister to decide on our future relationship with the EU, including on matters of energy.
