Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, with reference to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales of 11 July 2018, Official Report, column 949, on Industrial Strategy, when he last discussed onshore wind sites in Scotland being able to access future Contract for Difference auctions.

I have regular discussions with BEIS Ministers on a range of issues and can confirm that no decisions have been made to provide support via Contracts for Difference for onshore wind in Scotland other than those taken in respect of implementing the manifesto commitment on remote island wind.
