Written question asked by Adam Dance (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 23 March 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 26 March 2026 (named day). It was answered by Martin McCluskey (Labour) on Thursday, 26 March 2026 on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.


Petrol: Yeovil

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department holds data on the amount of oil stock purchased by petrol stations in Yeovil constituency at prices before the outbreak of the current conflict in Iran.

Answer

The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero closely monitors live fuel stock levels to ensure we have an accurate picture of the supply situation, and current indications show that petrol station forecourts across the UK remain well stocked. We also maintain regular engagement with industry, who confirm that the road fuel supply chain is operating across the UK as normal.

The Government does not measure stock levels at individual forecourts so localised concerns will not always show on our data. However, the government continues to liaise with industry to closely monitor the situation and will act should the situation require it.
