§ Mr. McLoughlinTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many quarries within the Peak District National Park are operating without the requirement for modern working standards required by schedule 13 of the Environment Act 1995; and what steps his Department is taking to ensure all quarries in the Peak District National Park are reviewed under schedule 13 of the Environment Act 1995. [102694]
§ Mr. McNultyThis information is not available centrally, because the review of existing mineral sites in this area is the responsibility of the Peak District National Park Authority. Guidance on the use of schedule 13 by all mineral planning authorities is set out in Planning Policy Guidance Note 14: "Environment Act 1995—Review of Mineral Planning Permissions".
