Solar Power and Wind Power: Security
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he plans to take to investigate the security of UK (a) solar and (b) wind farms to ensure that there are no kill switches in Chinese-made inverter units installed in their structures.
