This is an important issue, given that we are so dependent on imported oil and fossil fuels. We import 100% of our oil demands and 95.3% of our gas demands. Obviously, with the Brexit discussions, the rule of thumb is there are no certainties regarding anything.

I welcome the fact that discussions have taken place. If I heard the Minister correctly, he stated that the part of our oil reserves held in the UK following Brexit would not be counted as part of the 90-day emergency supply. The Minister might clarify that.
