Dr Andrew Murrison

Conservative — South West Wiltshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 April 2025

Debate

Onshore Wind and Solar Generation

Contribution

It would seem that the block to this project is not the Moroccan Government, nor the Governments of countries through whose territorial seas the cable would pass, but resides instead in Whitehall. What is the Minister doing about it?
