I believe that Bryn Bach Coal Limited has applied to Carmarthenshire County Council for permission to mine by surface mining operations 110,000 tonnes of premium-quality anthracite from the proposed Glan Lash extension. Having checked on their website, the county council's website, I note that the application was received on 29 November 2019. So, it was a sensible question to ask about what is happening here, when, three years on, a decision still has not been made. I certainly trust that the planning authority will base their resolution on planning policy.

Now, the reality is, whether we like it or not, there is a demand for coal in Wales, and in the UK, 7.3 million tonnes was used in 2021. In fact, the UK imported 4.6 million tonnes just last year. So, what action are you and your Government taking to ensure that, by pursuing our net-zero goals and ambitions, Wales is not going to become even more dependent on coal that is being imported? Thank you.
