HC Deb 26 February 2002 vol 380 cc1131-2W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment she has made of the safety implications for(a) vessels and (b) wind turbines, of fishing within an offshore wind farm; and if she will impose exclusion zones. [37748]

Mr. Wilson

I have not undertaken a broad safety assessment in relation to windfarms and fishing interests as the implications will vary from site to site. Safety will be a matter that I and other regulators will look at carefully when considering specific proposals which may include exclusion zones, and will of course also be a key consideration by the developers themselves.
