answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s long-standing fuel supply contingency programme is not publicly available to protect the sensitive operational information it contains, and to prevent the efficacy of the plans from being compromised. The specific plans for Brexit also contain sensitive commercial information.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in my previous answer, the Government believes that in most circumstances the fuel industry is well positioned to respond to disruptions to the supply chain. However, if required, our contingency programme includes measures to help the industry coordinate their response and increase its effectiveness as well as a reserve fleet of road tankers to increase the logistics capacity available for fuel supplies in the event of a disruption. The appropriate elements of this programme required will be decided in the context of any specific incident.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 07/10/2019 16:39:58 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance to businesses and households of having access to an affordable, secure and sustainable supply of energy. The Yellowhammer Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumptions are not based on a single forecast of expected prices. Many factors impact electricity prices including factors such as fuel prices, exchange rates and generation mix.</p><p>We expect that any change in electricity prices in Great Britain as a result of changes to interconnector trading arrangements would fall within the normal range of market volatility.</p><p>We assume in this Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumption that the Single Electricity Market (SEM) shared between Northern Ireland and Ireland may not be able to continue. If this is the case we would expect higher and more volatile electricity prices in Northern Ireland as a result of losing benefits from the more efficient, shared market. By far the best outcome for electricity in Northern Ireland is to maintain the SEM and the Government remains committed to seeking to maintain the SEM in any scenario.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 02/10/2019 15:58:05 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
