To ask Her Majesty's Government why they did not call in the plans for an inquiry into the new coal mine in Cumbria.
This question was answered on 17th February 2021
The Secretary of State’s powers to call in a case are used very selectively, and on 6 January 2021 he decided not to call in this application. The responsibility for determining it is with Cumbria County Council. Further representations to MHCLG when received are carefully considered.
