Item of business
Portfolio Question Time
Renewable Energy Infrastructure (North East Scotland)
Human beings matter, and my question relates to the Scottish Government and its powers. Can the minister confirm that the proposed infrastructure will conform to all statutory and regulatory requirements and that consent will not be granted unless the Scottish Government is satisfied that the design properly reflects foreseeable and lawful land use? In the light of the serious safety concerns that have been flagged to the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets about minimum statutory clearances and transmission line sag heights, can the minister also confirm that the infrastructure will not endanger agricultural workers?
