you for having me back so soon after my last appearance, and it's a really important question. And I think on two fronts, I would give some reassurance. First of all, despite some scaremongering stories that have surfaced in the past two weeks, The UK has very strong energy supplies from a diverse range of sources. If we think about our gas supply, for example, we have that from a number of different sources that are all still operating as normal. And I spoke to the three LNG terminals yesterday to confirm that that is still the case.
We think about fuel, it's really important to say that across the country we monitor very closely fuel supplies and there are no concerns at all about that fuel supply. Clearly, we keep all these things under review, but it is important to restate that publicly because clearly we want people to go about their lives refilling cars and everything else in the way they normally would, which is how we make sure that supplies continue to operate as normal. But there is no question that the situation in The Middle East and the uncertainty that that brings does have an impact on price. And that's why really clearly the government has said, look, we will fight the corner of consumers. We will do everything we can to to tackle, first of all, to de escalate the situation, which is in all of our interests.
