Mr. David Stewart: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans she has to make the UK economy less dependent on
imports from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries; and if she will make a statement. [179764]
Mr. Timms: The UK is currently a net exporter of oil and oil products, and, largely due to geography, imports relatively little oil
from OPEC countries. However, the UK is expected to become a net importer of oil by 2010 and the Government therefore recognise the
need to take a longer term strategic international approach to energy security. This approach is outlined in the 2003 Energy White
Paper, "Our Energy Future--creating a low carbon economy", available at http://www.dti.gov.uk/ energy/whitepaper/index.shtml. The
aim is not to reduce dependence on OPEC per se, but rather to promote more diverse sources of supply, fuel types and trading routes
and to put in place policies that will help ease the economy away from power supplied primarily through fossil fuels as well as
bringing about reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.
