Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what guidance his Department has issued on windfarms in the vicinity of radar installations following the installation of TPS-77 radar systems; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Philip Dunne, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology (including Defence Exports): The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is working with the wind industry to offer guidance to wind energy developers proposing wind turbine construction in the vicinity of TPS-77 radar systems. Because each wind farm is unique, the MOD offers tailored guidance to individual wind farm developers on a case-by-case basis. MOD engagement is available as part of the MOD's pre-application consultation service, accessed via the MOD and the Renewable UK websites at the following links.
