Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the impact on the taxi industry of current levels of supply of diesel.

The Department monitors the fuel supply market to remain aware of current supply levels, and publishes weekly national average forecourt stock levels.

Taxi drivers are able to purchase fuel from forecourts as for other drivers. There is no shortage of diesel availability at UK forecourts.
