What proportion of oil and gas products used by the GLA group, including Transport for London (TfL), are sourced from Russia, and what steps have you taken to reduce the use of products from this source?

Transport for London (TfL) does not source any of its gas supply from Russia. However, TfL is aware that tenanted properties have previously been supplied gas and electricity by the Russian majority state-owned company, Gazprom. TfL is not aware of any other supply by that company.

TfL’s oil requirements are procured using the Crown Commercial Service’s ‘National Fuels Framework’. TfL has reviewed this framework and confirmed that none of its suppliers are registered in Russia, have Russian directors, or have Russian subsidiaries within their group.

LLDC uses a small amount of gas for catering purposes only. Our gas provider buys gas from the UK wholesale market and does not depend on gas from Russia.

London Fire Brigade’s (LFB) gas is provided by Corona Energy. The contracts were procured and are managed by LASER on LFB’s behalf. Corona Energy has no trading or any other relationship with Russia. All gas in the UK traded by Total on behalf of LASER will be sourced directly from the UK over the counter market
