Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 December 2024
Debate
Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2025Contribution
In an ideal world it is to be hoped that the Scottish Government would be interested in the viability of investments bringing offshore wind through Scotland—they would want them to work—and, at the same time, the UK would be sensitive to reasonable variations in the environmental impact of achieving that. But it seems to be clear at the moment that the Scottish Government and Scottish Ministers are unsure of how the UK Government will approach these concurrent powers. Can the Minister enlighten the House? I am not sure that she can, because we are not sure about the circumstances where the issue might arise.
