Government Funding23 Aug 2019 13:01
I have emailed Andrea Leadsom MP (Secretary of State for Business - andrea.leadsom.mp@parliament.uk) and hope that others will do so to add their weight that the government should support the sirius minerals mine. Under gdpr rules you will need to include your full name and address if you want a reply.
I pointed out the thousands of jobs on the line, the expected 100 year life of the mine, that once up and running it is projected to be hugely profitable generating billions in revenue. It has secured numerous off-take agreements. The government should be looking long term (as I am) and there can be few projects I would think with a better long term oulook bringing in money to the economy. I pointed out that surely this is a win/win situation and failing to ensure it is a success would be a big downside not only financially including losing a lot of voters.
