Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) report into the proposed subsidy to the Cromarty Firth Port Authority under the Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme (FLOWMIS), published on 12 November, and when they expect to receive a report from the CMA in respect of the proposed FLOWMIS subsidy to Port Talbot.

We are considering the recommendations set out in the Competition and Markets Authority report on the Port of Cromarty Firth FLOWMIS grant proposal. We intend to submit a subsidy control assessment for ABP Port Talbot’s proposal soon.
