Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the role of the UK maritime industry in supporting the Government's targets for increasing offshore wind production.

While my Right Honourable Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is responsible for the Government’s targets on offshore wind production, my officials and I regularly engage the maritime sector on all relevant matters, including offshore wind production and the decarbonisation of the vessels serving offshore windfarms.
