Answer
On 17 March 2026, I spoke with Fire and Emergency's (FENZ) Chief Executive seeking assurance FENZ was monitoring fuel prices, what prices increases mean for service provision of helicopters, and what plans and contingencies will be in place for future scenarios. On 30 March 2026, I was provided with a briefing 'response to PSC - Further request for information for the Fuel Response Plan'.
