Crown Estate: Wales

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on the potential merits of devolving the Crown Estate to Wales.

Answered by Dame Nia Griffith

The Crown Estate is key to the £1.4 billion investment and over 5,000 jobs that this government wants to secure from floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea. It works closely with the Welsh Government to ensure Wales is at the cutting edge of this growing sector.

Our total focus is on taking maximum advantage of this opportunity for Wales, using levers within the existing devolution settlement.
