answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2022 answer text <p>The UK remains well-supplied from a diverse range of sources and refining capacity is assessed as adequate. UK demand for diesel is met by a combination of domestic production and imports. There is an oversupply of petrol and the UK is a net exporter. BEIS continually monitors the fuel supply market to remain aware of current supply levels and publishes weekly national average forecourt stock levels. All UK refinery operators are in the process of exploring opportunities to move to greener products and transition towards the Government’s net zero target.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 11/11/2022 13:41:37 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

This will be developed over the course of the coming months following a full public consultation process.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 29/03/2019 13:50:54 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text <p>In 2008 the Competent Authority (CA) published the containment policy, a framework for upgrading existing fuel sites so far as is reasonably practicable. Upgrades are being prioritised at higher risk sites and where measures are aimed at preventing release of fuel from tanks. In order to avoid disrupting operations and supplies, the upgrading work is being phased. All necessary upgrades are expected to be complete by 2028.</p><p>The 87 fuel terminals and 7 refineries have already completed many of the high risk and low cost improvements required. Improvement plans for upgrading storage tanks at the fuel terminals have also been agreed with the CA and progress against plans is monitored on an annual basis. A new risk assessment method for the very large tanks at the oil refineries was agreed with the CA in October this year and the refineries will submit their upgrading plans for approval by March 2015.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 04/11/2014 16:33:56 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson
