Oil: Prices

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with OPEC on reducing the price of oil.

Answer

We engage regularly with international partners, including non-Russian OPEC+ countries, on the importance of maintaining stability in global energy markets. We encourage others, where they can, to backfill Russian production in the short-term, and to scale up investment and international co-operation in clean energy to reduce longer-term dependence. It is vital that we combat high energy prices and inflation.
