The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether it is his Department's policy to allow wind turbines manufactured by Chinese companies to be used on new wind farms.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Government takes the security and resilience of our energy infrastructure extremely seriously with the UK being one of the most reliable and safest energy systems, and one of the most attractive investment destinations in the world.

The Government will take a consistent, long-term and strategic approach to managing the UK’s relations with China, rooted in UK and global interests. The Government will co-operate where it can, compete where it needs to, and challenge where it must.
