More likely it involves restricting commercial gas supply to prioritise domestic needs.
If things got extra serious they could also cut gas transit from Milford Haven to the Continent and retain whatever comes ashore in the UK for UK use. But that would be a very extreme step because it would be interfering in commercial arrangements affecting our friends and allies overseas. Not all the gas that comes ashore at Milford Haven is purchased by, or for use in, the UK. Much of it flows across south Wales and the south of England, under the Channel and into Europe.
