Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what amount has been paid in compensation or remediation for subsidence related to mineshafts and shaft collapse on (a) private and (b) local authority land in each of the last 10 years.

A table, providing information on the number of claims associated with mine shafts and adits over the last 10 years, along with information on the expenditure incurred in their treatment, will be placed in the Libraries of the House.

The Coal Authority do not differentiate between private and local authority so I am unable to provide the data split as requested.
