Glyn Davies – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Glyn Davies on 2014-06-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment he has made of the UK’s security of energy supply.

Mr Edward Davey

The UK enjoys a stable and secure energy supply, and we are working hard to ensure that it continues. As a Government, we are actively managing a number of risks to our current and future energy supplies, including the current challenges from Iraq, Russia and Ukraine. Our recent national gas risk assessment demonstrated that our gas infrastructure is robust. The measures recently announced by National Grid respond to the energy crunch that, owing to the legacy of under-investment and neglect, was predicted for this winter, but which will not now happen.
