Proceeding contribution from Bob Blizzard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy White Paper.

Energy White Paper

Britain is the windiest country in Europe. My right hon. Friend’s Department has identified many sites around our coasts for offshore wind farms, which can make a major contribution towards achieving the 20 per cent. target in respect of renewable energy, but too many such developments are bogged down in the long and tedious consent process and some are facing real obstacles. What is there in the White Paper that will help those developments proceed, through streamlining the consent process and removing some of the obstacles?
