HC Deb 19 October 1992 vol 212 cc146-7W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will state his Department's policy towards the creation of coastal super-quarries.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

The potential for coastal super-quarries will be taken into account in the current review of mineral planning guidance note 6 on the provision for aggregates in England and Wales. Individual applications will of course be considered on their merits, having full regard to all environmental considerations.
