Written question asked by Adam Price (Plaid Cymru) on Wednesday, 14 December 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 19 December 2005. It was answered by Malcolm Wicks (Labour) on Tuesday, 20 December 2005 on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry.
Buncefield Oil Depot
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment he has made of the likely effect of the fire at Buncefield oil depot on the price of domestic heating oil.
- Answer
-
Buncefield is a distribution terminal not a refinery; hence there is no change to UK fuel output as a result of the fire. The Government and oil industry have been working closely to ensure petroleum products are supplied to market via one of the other 50 major UK oil storage terminals, thereby reducing the potential impact on the price of heating oil and other petroleum products.
