John Robertson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change
The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Robertson on 2014-06-26.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate he has made of the duration in days that airports in the south east of England would be able to run at full aviation fuel demand capacity in the event of an emergency on the scale of the Buncefield explosion in 2005.
Michael Fallon
UK supplies of aviation fuels are resilient to most hazards and additional protections have been put in place since the incident at Buncefield in 2005. Any impact upon supplies would depend entirely on the nature of any incident.
