14:45Now PlayingThe UK is looking at "any options" - including working with US and allies - to secure key oil shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, Ed Miliband has said.
The Energy Secretary told Laura Kuenssberg it was "very important" that the strait was made safe for shipping, but refused to give details of options considered by the Government.
Speaking the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Miliband left the door open to interventions on fuel duty and energy bills if the impact of the Gulf crisis demands it.
Oil and gas prices have surged due to the US-Israel war in Iran and, with no clear indication of how long conflict will continue, economists have warned about the possible impact on the global economy and cost of living.
