Dr. Wright

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received about the need to ensure that opencast coal is included in the current review of coal and energy policy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

My right hon. Friend, the President of the Board of Trade, announced the terms of the review in the House on 26 October. So far, no representations on the inclusion in the review of open cast coal mining have been received.
