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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he plans to publish the Hendry Review of Tidal Lagoons; and if he will make a statement.

The Hendry Review has submitted its report to the department. We are grateful for the hard work that has gone into the Review. Government will need to look carefully at the Review’s findings in the context of its wider energy policy and to ensure that tidal lagoons represent value for money to the consumer.

The publication of the report on the independent review of tidal lagoons is the responsibility of the Hendry Review. We understand that it will be published shortly.
