Written statement made by Michael Fallon (Conservative) on Tuesday, 8 April 2014 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
UK Coal
UK Coal is seeking investment, from various parties including the Government, to fund a managed run-down of its two remaining operational deep mines.
The future of UK Coal is primarily a commercial matter for the company. The Government are considering whether they can contribute to the private sector-led proposals, which aim to deliver a managed closure of the Thoresby and Kellingley deep mines.
I hope to be in a position to update the House on the outcome of these negotiations within the next 48 hours.
