ONSHORE WIND

Early day motion 81, tabled 4 June 2015 by Callum McCaig (Scottish National Party). Signed by 40 members.

That this House welcomes the commitment from the Government in the Queen's Speech that, the Government will consult with the devolved administrations on changes to subsidy regimes for onshore wind farms; expresses its concern at the possibility of the subsidy for new onshore wind farms being ended due to the negative impact that this will have on investment and upon reducing carbon emissions both in Scotland and across the UK; and calls on the Government to honour its commitment on consultation and engage in urgent talks with the Scottish Government over the subsidies for new onshore wind development in Scotland.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 36, Labour 2, DUP 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
