Pylons: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he has received representations from local authorities in Scotland on the proposed expansion of electricity transmission infrastructure in rural areas.
Answered by Ian Murray
My Ministerial colleagues and I continue to engage regularly with local authorities in Scotland across a wide range of issues.
The UK Government is committed to delivering our Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, which will require investment in and expansion of our transmission network. We will work with all interested parties to deliver our plan, which will guarantee energy security, lower bills, and good jobs across the UK.
