Mr. Kidney: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to reduce the proportion of applications for planning permission for offshore wind farms to which his Department lodges objections. [174589] Mr. Caplin: Departmental policy must be to maintain the integrity of operations, safety and the nation's defence systems.
