HC Deb 21 January 1992 vol 202 c125W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to review mineral planning guidance note 3 on opencast coal mining and mineral planning guidance note 6 on guidelines for aggregates provision.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

Although its operation is continuously monitored, there are no current plans to revise minerals planning guidance note 3. Minerals planning guidance note 6 on aggregates provision is currently being revised and a draft is expected to issue for consultation later this year.

If the hon. Gentleman has any representations he wishes to make on these notes I would, of course, be happy to consider them.
