Business question from Brendan O'Hara (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 February 2017. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

On Saturday, I will be in Campbeltown to meet the management and workers of CSWind, a manufacturer of wind turbines that is in the process of laying off employees because, as a company spokesman says, the UK Government’s

“energy policy has resulted in a slow-down of development of onshore wind projects.”

Is that an intended or unintended consequence of the change in Government policy? May we have an urgent statement about the catastrophic consequences of the Government’s energy policy for the already fragile economy of my Argyll and Bute constituency?
