Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Roberts of Conwy (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 19 January 2006.
Wind Energy: Offshore Sites
- Question
- My Lords, is the Minister fully aware of the vast extent of the proposals for wind farms in the east Irish Sea, as he calls it? It involves a positive infestation of wind farms, which will threaten the tourism industry along the North Wales coast and is causing a great deal of local concern.
- Answer
-
My Lords, I understand that there is concern. The word ““infestation”” probably over-dramatises the situation. Clearly one considers whether a large number of turbines has a greater impact on safety, the environment or commerce. The Secretary of State will take account of all those factors in making decisions.
