HC Deb 01 July 2002 vol 388 cc29-30W
Mr. Peter Duncan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list those applications for wind farms in Scotland since January 2000 that his Department have(a) objected to and (b) not objected to. [64346]

Dr. Moonie

I will write to the hon. Member with a list of all wind farm proposals for Scotland received during the time specified and I will place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.

The Ministry of Defence has received a total of 182 wind energy proposals in Scotland since 1 January 2000, of which 112 received no objection and 70 were objected to. The objections were for varying reasons of interference to low flying, radar or microwave links.
