Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what measures they have taken to increase national energy security since the start of the conflict in Iran.

The UK benefits from a strong and diverse range of energy supplies. We are continuing to focus on efforts to de-escalate the conflict as the principal way to address the impacts of the crisis.

In addition, we are going further and faster to reduce our exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets, rolling out new renewable capacity across our grid, breaking the link between gas and electricity price and encouraging and supporting households and businesses to switch from gas to electricity wherever possible.
