Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 November 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Navitus Bay Wind Farm.


Navitus Bay Wind Farm

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way so early. There are a number of issues to cover. He touched on the Crown Estate, which is the genesis of this entire discussion because it gave the footprint and suggested the area that we need to consider for use for wind farms.

Does my hon. Friend share my concern that that very footprint that we now call Navitus Bay was, in fact, incorrect, because it included areas just off Weymouth that are military zones for shooting? They could never have been included in the first place for consideration as a place for wind farms to be erected.
