16493 (2026). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Further to her answer to written question 12421 (2026): what are the assumptions about the potential for sustained fuel price pressures?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised that Fire and Emergency is considering the impacts of fuel availability and fuel price caused by conflict in the Middle East, including the potential that increased fuel prices and supply constraints may be present for some time. This includes prioritizing emergency response activities.
