Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% :- June 2021: The Government brings forward the date to end the use of coal to generate electricity in the UK to October 2024, though the announcement does not cover other uses of coal such as the steel industry, or domestic coal mines.
46% : But prime minister Boris Johnson adds to speculation the Government could approve the scheme, which is backed by a number of Tory MPs, when he tells the Commons that "plainly it makes no sense to be importing coal, particularly for metallurgical purposes, when we have our own domestic resources".
