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 the situation in Niger on levels of supply of uranium for civil nuclear power.
Answered by Andrew Bowie - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
Nuclear fuel and uranium for the UK generating fleet is procured by the operator, EDF Energy. EDFE have confirmed they are monitoring the situation to ensure no impact on UK supply. EDFE procure uranium from a variety of mining operators in a number of countries, including Niger, Kazakhstan, Canada and Australia.
Whilst the UK is not dependent on Niger for nuclear fuel, we recognise the importance of international security of supply of uranium and the Government is committed to working closely with industry, fuel suppliers and our international partners to achieve this.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government, following the remarks of the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs on 18 March that the UK’s relationship with Kazakhstan has “great growth potential”, what assessment they have made of Kazakhstan’s support for Russia’s evasion of sanctions.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK Government welcomes the public commitments made by the Government of Kazakhstan that it will not be a back door for sanctions evasion. The measures that Kazakhstan is implementing to prevent sanctions circumvention have been part of our bilateral dialogue over the last year. Senior officials from the FCDO sanctions team are visiting Kazakhstan this month to discuss sanctions enforcement with the Kazakh Government. We look forward to ongoing close consultation in this area.
