Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of a shortage of aviation fuel on the operations of air ambulance charities.

The United Kingdom remains well stocked for all fuel types and the Government is working with fuel suppliers to make sure businesses and essential services are supported.
