Opencast Mining

EDM number 628 in 1992-93, proposed by Michael Clapham on 22/10/1992.

That this House is extremely concerned that the current negotiations on new coal contracts will result in a significant reduction in the amount of British deep mined coal taken by the generators; views with alarm the massive expansion of opencast mining which will further impact on deep mined capacity and jobs; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to now withdraw Minerals Planning Guidance Note 3 and let local authorities make the final decision on applications for opencast operations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 66 MPs.
