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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department or its predecessors have conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of training standards developed by the Global Wind Organisation for employees in the UK offshore wind industry.

The Department has not carried out an assessment of the training standards developed by the Global Wind Organisation. Training content and training standards are a matter for the industry, and companies need to ensure they comply with relevant health and safety legislation in the UK.
