answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2014 answer text <p>DECC published a report from Deloitte LLP in December 2012, which considered long term changes to the retail market for road fuels in the UK, and the implications of these changes to our energy resilience. This market has changed significantly over the last decade. However, the findings of this report do not suggest that the changes to the size and shape of the retail market for road fuels have had significant impacts on the UK's ability to be able to respond to supply disruptions or that these have significantly reduced the access of UK motorists to a local supply of fuel. The report found that in 2011, 98% of postcode sectors had a petrol filling station within 10 minutes drive, and 92% had more than two within the same travel time.</p><p> </p><p>Decisions on the location of individual petrol filling stations are for local planning authorities.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 27/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
