<p>My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State made a statement to the House on Monday
25 June 2018 setting out our position on the support for the proposed Swansea Bay
Tidal Lagoon project. The Department’s analysis of the project and the proposed follow-on
programme of lagoons was that it did not represent value for money. This remains the
Department’s position.</p><p> </p><p>In February, the Minister of State for Energy
and Clean Growth met the rt. hon. member for Orkney and Shetland, along with a cross-party
delegation of Members of Parliament and representatives of the sector, to discuss
the potential for alternative methods of funding early tidal stream and wave energy
deployment.</p>
