Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Walpole (Crossbench). It was answered on Tuesday, 22 November 2011.


Energy: Tidal Generation

Question
My Lords, will the Minister comment on what is happening at Scapa Flow in Orkney? Things were definitely looking rather exciting about two years ago. Is there any progress?... Scapa Flow, in Orkney.
Answer

I did not catch the name of the place... I am not sure that that helps me very much. Certainly there is a lot happening in Orkney as part of the tidal stream and new technology. The example that the noble Lord has identified may be part of the new innovation that is taking place right there, but I am afraid that I do not have any specific details on that.
