Thoresby And Kellingley Collieries

EDM number 62 in 2014-15, proposed by Alan Meale on 10/06/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Coal, Employment, Industry and Regeneration.

That this House believes that the Government should make every attempt to broker a solution which would keep the two remaining UK collieries open in Thoresby, Nottinghamshire and Kellingley, Yorkshire beyond the suggested 18 month run down period to enable associated direct and indirect jobs to be saved, the remaining coal reserves to be extracted and thereafter to adopt a strategy to develop economic regeneration in these communities beyond the eventual closure.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
