Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made on the suitability of the coal that would be mined from the Woodhouse Colliery near Whitehaven for use in primary steel manufacturing in the UK.
The planning application for the proposed West Cumbria coalmine seeks permission for the winning and working of coking coal for use in steel manufacture only.
