News / Energy secretary’s visit delayed
THE VISIT to Shetland of the UK’s new secretary for energy and climate change, Chris Huhne, has been delayed until early October.
Shortly after becoming a government secretary, Mr Huhne had accepted an invitation from northern isles MP and party colleague Alistair Carmichael to visit the isles in recognition of their present and future role for the UK’s energy industry.
It was hoped that this visit could take place before the end of July, but Mr Carmichael confirmed on Wednesday morning that due to diary constraints the visit had now been re-scheduled to take place in October.
“We don’t have a definite date yet but it will be in the first week of October”, Mr Carmichael said.
