Electric Cables: Lake District National Park

Wednesday 4th May 2016

Asked by: Lord Clark of Windermere (Labour - Life peer)

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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with National Grid in relation to the erection of pylons to carry power through the Lake District National Park from the proposed nuclear generation station adjacent to Sellafield.

Answered by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

Government holds regular discussions with National Grid across a range of energy matters. Some of these include factual updates from National Grid on its proposed major electricity transmission projects. When this occurs, Ministers and officials do not provide any views to National Grid due to the role DECC Ministers would play in the determination of any development consent applications.
