Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

I am delighted to give my hon. Friend that assurance. Clause 13 sets out in great detail the areas that are subject to the process of national policy statements, which involves the jurisdiction of the national planning commission, and he will find that open-cast coal mining is not one of the areas set out in the clause. Therefore, it would not fall under the jurisdiction of the Bill. I am delighted to give my hon. Friend and his colleagues that reassurance.
