Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I am grateful to the Secretary of State for giving way—he is obviously in a benign and helpful mood. Is he aware, however, that at least 500 wind turbines either are under construction or have permission for sites in the Wash or off the Norfolk coast? Bearing that in mind, does he agree that there is now no justification for small clusters of onshore wind farms, which do great damage to the environment and are highly unpopular? Surely they should now all be offshore.
