Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of liquefied natural gas imports into the EU from the Russian Yamal field; and whether any Russian gas is being imported into the UK through the interconnection.
The EU has prohibited Russian LNG imports under short-term contracts since 25 April 2026 and will ban all remaining imports from 1 January 2027. The UK banned imports of Russian LNG in January 2023.
The UK’s gas supply comes from a range of sources: 42% is sourced from the UK continental shelf; Norway’s continental shelf provides 37%; LNG accounts for 20%; and Interconnectors supply 1%.
