Public bill · Government · Presented
It would put oil emergency planning on a formal legal footing so the State can respond faster to a major or prolonged oil shortage, protect fuel for critical services, and keep emergency stocks available when needed. It would also move responsibility for renewable transport fuel rules from the Environment Department to the Transport Department, create a Petroleum Register of oil companies, and give ministers stronger powers to direct fuel supplies in a fuel emergency, including for electricity generation and other critical services.
