Civil Nuclear Constabulary
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending the responsibilities of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary to include offshore wind infrastructure in (a) territorial waters and (b) the exclusive economic zone.
- Answer
-
Armed policing is used to protect only the most critical infrastructure. I am unable to comment on specific security measures at specific sites. The security measures at critical energy sites are implemented as a result of expert advice on the most effective measures that are proportionate to the threat and the type of infrastructure to be protected.
