To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the answer of 1 June 2026 to question 3663 on Liquefied Natural Gas: Russia, what specific Russian LNG has been permitted for maritime transportation on the spot market.
Chris Bryant
Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The LNG maritime services ban licence temporarily authorises UK service provision in relation to spot market trade (under contracts of less than a year) from Russian LNG projects Sakhalin-2 and Yamal until 1 January 2027. The licence does not authorise any activities not described in the licence that would otherwise be prohibited under the Russia Regulations. Any person who does not comply with the conditions of the licence may be committing an offence.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
