Why on earth should the Coal Authority be the only organisation that can provide information about coal workings?
Or the Environment Agency, busy protecting its information so there can be no alternative environment assessment to rival its view? We need competition right across the board. It’s good for the environment and it’s good for the pockets of the people.
A future Conservative Government should ensure that information is available very widely for the private sector so they can package it in the most convenient way, for commercial and individual use.
Of course I don’t mean personal information. I mean details of contamination, of previous flood incidents, of coal mining activities, of collapses and utilities lines. This is public information that should be available to the public, not through the filter of public authorities.
