Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the Government plans to agree a sector deal on wind energy; and which organisations in Humberside his Department has had discussions with on such a deal in the last twelve months.

The Offshore Wind Industry Council is working to develop an ambitious business-led offshore wind proposal for a sector deal.

The Department has not had specific discussions on a potential deal with organisations in Humberside. However, the Offshore Wind Industry Council has conducted an engagement exercise with the wider industry across the UK as part of their work in developing a Sector Deal proposal.
