Following the announcement that Able UK's Humber Marine Energy Park proposals had been approved, Martin asked the Energy Minister, Matthew Hancock, to visit the area to meet developers.
Martin asked:
"The Minister will be aware of the many developments on the Humber estuary, onshore and offshore, that will boost energy security. In particular, the Joint Committee recently approved the Able UK development of the south Humber energy park. I urge the Minister to visit the area and meet Able and other developers to see what a boost it is to the local economy."
The Minister responded:
"I would be absolutely delighted to visit the Cleethorpes and Humber estuary, which is increasingly a crucial cluster for our energy supplies and energy security. I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for all his activity, and for his promotion of Cleethorpes and the whole of Humberside, specifically with regard to the role that they play in our energy generation."
