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. Objections
are only raised when any proposed development would affect these key criteria. It is the Department's stated aim, wherever possible,
to assist developers of wind farms, both on-shore and off- shore, to find solutions that will enable a development to proceed to the
satisfaction of all parties.

Mr. Tam Dalyell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assistance he is offering to manufacturers of windmill blades in
overcoming problems of radar reflection on military aircraft. [166940]
Mr. Caplin: [holding answer 20 May 2004]: The Department of Trade and Industry in association with the Ministry of Defence,
the Civil Aviation Authority and British Wind Energy Association, through the Wind Energy, Defence and Civil Aviation Interests
Working Group have commissioned Qinetiq to investigate the feasibility of developing wind turbine blades that would be invisible to
radar. The Department is also aware, through the same Group, that Sheffield University is investigating the technology for
development of similar wind turbine blades. Additionally, the working group hopes to test software technology that can be applied to
radar to mitigate some of the effects that are caused by wind turbine blades. MOD expects, in due course, to take a major role in
testing this technology. MOD officials are available to meet with any manufacturers of wind turbine blades to discuss radar issues.
