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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what meetings he has held with petrol retailers regarding fuel prices between 25 October 2021 and 6 January 2022.

Officials are in regular contact with the fuel supply industry including those within retail operations, to discuss a range of issues, including the Government’s draft Downstream Oil Resilience Bill. The Government also monitors changes in fuel prices and has therefore decided to freeze fuel duty for the twelfth consecutive year.
