answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2017 answer text <p>The UK has a diverse range of supply sources, including domestic production, pipeline imports from Norway and the continent, and imports of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from elsewhere in the world. The ability to draw on a wide range of sources enhances the UK's gas security of supply.</p><p>We do not assess that the current situation in the Gulf warrants concern for our gas security, but we will continue to monitor this. Wholesale gas prices in the UK are low, which indicates that the market is not concerned. Qatari production and export of LNG have continued as they did before the dispute began. Any disruption to our supply of Qatari LNG is likely to be manageable.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 28/06/2017 14:15:19 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
