Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy written question – answered on 16 November 2021.
Catherine West
Shadow Minister (Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs)
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions he has had with his European counterparts on reducing reliance on Russian gas imports.
Greg Hands
The Minister of State, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
The UK is in no way dependent on Russian gas – less than 3% of the UK’s gas was sourced from Russia in 2020. The UK meets around half of its annual gas supply through domestic production, and the vast majority of imports come from reliable suppliers such as Norway. There are no gas pipelines directly linking the UK with Russia.
