Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Anna Turley and Elizabeth Truss

Tuesday 29th January 2019 Commons Chamber

[Elizabeth Truss]

Sirius Minerals already employs more than 800 people in North Yorkshire and Teesside in the world’s largest polyhalite mine, but to bring 50 years of growth and job opportunities to our region, it needs a Treasury guarantee on its funding. Will the Chancellor make that guarantee available today and unleash a whole new era of jobs and opportunities in my area?
