answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2021 answer text <p>As a matter of policy, the government does not comment on COBR meetings.</p><p>With respect to the fuel crisis more generally, the Government acted swiftly to respond to the rapid increase in demand for fuel (observed from 24 September 2021) which caused shortages at forecourts around the UK. Regular ministerial and senior officials' meetings were convened, both before and after the peak in demand. These meetings were all supported by data feeds collated by departments that informed Government of consumer demand, forecourt stock levels, fuel delivery capabilities and other key metrics.</p><p>The government has tried and tested plans in place to manage fuel supply. The Government implemented a range of timely measures to resolve the situation, including deployment of military drivers to staff the Reserve Tanker Fleet, the activation of the Downstream Oil Protocol, the relaxation of drivers’ hours regulations and the roll out of short-term visas so that haulier firms could source trained drivers from overseas.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 20/10/2021 15:46:07 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
