To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, with reference to his Department's press release entitled UK to set end date for imports of Russian diesel and jet fuel via third countries, published on 12 June 2026, what estimate he has made of the volume of...

The licences support flexibility in UK supply and global markets. Regulation 76 of the Russia Regulations (2019) requires businesses to notify Government within 30 days of use, due to low volumes, figures notified to Government on diesel and jet fuel imported into the UK are suppressed to prevent the identification of individuals or businesses. Notification of Russian crude in UK supply chains is a new requirement under the general licence. We do not have comparative data to show trends of imports before this.
The Government has committed to reviewing the licence every two weeks. This involves continually assessing its impact on energy supply, market conditions and other relevant considerations, against our objective to lift the licence as soon as is practicable. As part of this process, we have set an end date of 1 January 2027.

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the tax cost of train operators using red diesel instead of paying full fuel tax.
To ask His Majesty's Government what is the tax cost of train operators using red diesel instead of paying full fuel tax.
Qualifying locomotives for passenger and freight trains, and rail maintenance vehicles can use red diesel for propulsion. The Treasury does not hold information on the cost of rebated fuel used specifically by train operators.
To assist the Noble Lord, I can point to the most relevant published statistics available. HMRC’s non-structural tax reliefs publication sets out the overall estimated Exchequer cost of the rebate for red diesel (and kerosene used as fuel in an engine), while DESNZ’s Digest of UK Energy Statistics provides data on petroleum products consumed by the rail sector.
Although these publications do not provide a separate official estimate for train operators, they provide the best available published information on the overall cost of the relief and the scale of rail-sector fuel use.

HMRC is responsible for enforcing the ban on imports of oil products refined in third countries from Russian-origin crude oil and investigating suspected offences.
HMRC uses a variety of proven methods to detect sanctions breaches, including: risk and intelligence-based checks on goods imported to the UK, auditing businesses involved in the trade of goods subject to sanctions; and collecting actionable intelligence from domestic and international law enforcement partners and the intelligence community.
Importers of diesel and jet fuel may be requested to present evidence of a good's supply chain. In some cases, HMRC officials may require the production of further information relating to the goods.

On 20 May 2026, the UK introduced a new sanctions package to further target Russian revenues and degrade its ability to wage its illegal war in Ukraine and for the first time processed oil products refined from Russian crude in third countries have been banned. The UK Government published an Impact Assessment alongside the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026, available on legislation.gov.uk.
Alongside this, a general trade licence, including for jet fuel processed in third countries from Russian crude, was issued to support a managed and phased implementation of complex restrictions, and to provide targeted, temporary flexibility to safeguard UK energy supply and global market stability.
The Government will continue to review the licence every two weeks. This involves continually assessing its impact on energy supply, market conditions and other relevant considerations, against our objective to revoke the licence as soon as is practicable. As part of this process, we have since set an end date of 1 January 2027.
The Secretary of State will consider each application for a trade licence on a case-by-case basis, with key consideration given to whether the proposed activity is consistent with the purposes of the sanctions as specified in Regulation 4 of the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. The Secretary of State must act within the statutory framework Parliament has approved, the licensing power is exercised in a targeted and proportionate way.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help ensure that adequate levels of aviation fuel are available to airports in Scotland.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help ensure that adequate levels of aviation fuel are available to airports in Scotland.
The Government is working closely with industry and regulators to monitor supply and maintain the resilience of supply chains. There are currently no aviation fuel shortages affecting airports in the UK. We remain in regular contact with the Scottish Government and other Devolved Governments to ensure we are ready to respond in a coordinated manner should disruption arise.
Fuel is being transported hundreds of miles from Stanlow in Cheshire to Scottish airports, increasing emissions and undermining our local fuel distribution industry. What will the Department do, alongside the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the Department for Business and Trade and the Scotland Office, to protect fuel security and Scottish jobs, including those of tanker drivers?

Fuel security and the Scottish jobs that it underpins are of incredible importance to this Government. We remain in regular contact with both the Scottish Government and other devolved Governments to ensure that we are ready to respond in a co-ordinated manner should any disruption to our fuel and refining capabilities arise.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps her Department has taken to increase the supply of (a) sustainable aviation fuel and( b) domestic aviation fuel production.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps her Department has taken to increase the supply of (a) sustainable aviation fuel and( b) domestic aviation fuel production.
The Low Carbon Fuels Fund (LCFF) will support UK sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply by funding first-of-a-kind SAF production plants through the project pipeline to aid their commercialisation. Up to £219m has been made available through to 2029/30, with the first competition window opening this summer. The LCFF will build on the work of the Advanced Fuels Fund, which allocated over £198m to support private investment in 21 UK SAF projects between 2022 and 2026.
We are working closely with the aviation industry and international partners to monitor risks and support resilient aviation fuel supplies.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he plans to provide emergency support to Air Ambulance charities for the costs of fuel.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he plans to provide emergency support to Air Ambulance charities for the costs of fuel.
The Department has been engaging with air ambulance charities on fuel resilience issues, as part of regular contingency planning.
The Government supports the longstanding and successful independent air ambulance charities model, which enables close partnership working with local National Health Service trusts to provide medical guidance, supplies, and training. There are no current plans to provide further funding to the sector which operates through this successful charitable model.

The current extent of grid constraints reflects years of underinvestment, with new network infrastructure development having lagged the expansion of new generation.
That’s why this Government is delivering the biggest upgrade in Great Britain’s electricity network in decades.
Alongside this, in April the Government set out it’s Reformed National Pricing Delivery plan, which outlines a number of measures the Government is taking to improve system efficiency and reduce the costs associated with network constraints. We are working closely with Ofgem and NESO to deliver these actions.
A small coach operator in my constituency of Blyth and Ashington has local authority school contracts, and he has seen the price that he pays for fuel increase by 38% per month, without any additional support from the council. What assessment has the Secretary of State made of the potential to extend schemes that support other fuel-intensive businesses to those tasked with getting our children to school?

I pay tribute to the business in my hon. Friend’s constituency that he advocates for. Businesses around the country are paying the price of, and having to adapt to the challenges posed by, the Iran war. It is a good job that we have a Prime Minister who kept us out of the war—those on the Conservative Benches would have plunged us into it and made things even more difficult for businesses in my hon. Friend’s constituency and across the country. On his specific question, I can tell him that we are engaging regularly with refiners, importers and distributors to ensure that any emerging risks are identified and managed properly.

UK sanctions have been effective in reducing revenue going to Russia. Since the ban on import of Russian oil and oil products came into effect in December 2022, imports of Russian oil or oil products have reduced to zero. HMRC country of origin trade data shows UK imports originating in Russia to the value of less than £1 million in early 2023, and no further imports to date. On 20 May 2026 the Government introduced a new prohibition on the import of refined oil products refined in third countries from Russian crude, further reducing Russian revenues from oil exports. It is too soon to assess the impact of that measure.
