Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what her policy is on subsidies for on-shore wind generation; whether legislative proposals will be brought forward to implement that policy; and whether that policy will be applied retrospectively.

We are driving forward plans to deliver our manifesto pledge to end new subsidies for onshore wind and to give local communities the final say on windfarm applications, and will publish our plans shortly. Ministers and officials have had discussions with a number of developers and we expect to discuss our plans with a wide range of stakeholders in the coming weeks.
