In the British Energy Security Strategy the Government strengthened the National Policy Statements and implemented a new Offshore Wind Environmental Improvement Package, which introduces strategic compensation, a Marine Recovery Fund and a more strategic approach to Habitats Regulation Assessments. This will allow the UK to accelerate offshore wind deployment needed to meet our 50GW by 2030 ambition, while maintaining protection and improving the natural environment.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 29/11/2022 17:27:05 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
