Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
What steps he is taking to support the offshore wind sector.
This question was answered on 20th November 2018
Offshore wind is already bringing high value jobs to coastal communities like Grimsby, for example, from the Triton Knoll project.
Hull has seen 1,000 direct jobs created from the £310 million investment in Siemens’ blade factory.
We are moving to advance discussions with the offshore wind sector around a Sector Deal that ensures higher levels of local content, UK jobs and investment in supply chains, like those in the hon Member’s constituency.
