The UK government is engaged with the Ministry of Energy and Ukrainian companies on short-term energy security needs and has introduced a time-limited exemption to its international fossil fuel support policy for Ukraine. Longer-term solutions in the region and globally must focus on clean energy, to prevent long-term dependence on fossil fuels.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 12/02/2024 11:27:42 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
