Silica: Quarrying
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what targets his Department has set for extraction of silica sand; and when he next plans to review the adequacy of such targets.
- Answer
-
The Government have no central target for the extraction of silica sand. Minerals planning authorities are expected to make provision for silica sand extraction where the resource is found, taking into account relevant national planning policy including Minerals Policy Statement 1 and Mineral Planning Guidance 15. I also refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave him on 20 July, Official Report, columns 220-221W.
