question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much coal imports to the UK from Russia increased in (a) tonnage and (b) proportion terms from (i) 2016-2017 and (ii) 2017-2018; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>Coal is a globally traded commodity and the UK sources coal from a range of countries including Russia, US, Colombia and Australia. The UK’s overall consumption of coal has been falling - demand in 2017 was less than a quarter of that seen in 2000. Over that period the tonnage of coal imports from Russia has been on a downward trend falling from 18.1m tonnes in 2012 to 3.9m tonnes in 2017, representing a decrease of 78%. Total UK coal imports in 2016 were at their lowest in 34 years due to lower demand from electricity generators and so this year is unrepresentative when compared to 2017 in isolation. In 2016, 2.3 million tonnes (27%) of the UK’s total coal imports came from Russia and this increased to 3.9 million tonnes (46%) in 2017.</p><p>Comparative data for the period 2017-2018 is not yet available.</p><p>This information has been cited from The Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) available at</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/digest-of-uk-energy-statistics-dukes-2017-main-report" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/digest-of-uk-energy-statistics-dukes-2017-main-report</a></p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/digest-of-uk-energy-statistics-dukes-2018-main-report" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/digest-of-uk-energy-statistics-dukes-2018-main-report</a></p><p>and</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/digest-of-uk-energy-statistics-dukes" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/digest-of-uk-energy-statistics-dukes</a></p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 31/01/2019 16:07:48 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the UK government considers coal for (a) steel and (b) cement manufacture to be a strategically important mineral; and if he will make a statement.
tabling member constituency	Shipley
tabling member printed	Philip Davies
uin	211164
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of coal as a raw material for cement producers, and in primary steel production where coke and iron ore are the principle inputs to the blast furnaces at Scunthorpe and Port Talbot. Currently, there are well-functioning global markets for the types of coal required in the UK industrial base and these materials are not in short supply. As part of the Industrial Strategy we have secured a sector deal with the UK construction sector, and remain in close dialogue with the UK steel sector in pursuit of a similar outcome. Through these conversations neither sector has raised concerns regarding coal. In addition to the Department’s current efforts in encouraging all UK businesses to prepare resilient contingency plans to ensure continuation of supply for their key inputs (including materials) as we leave the EU, all commercial operators in these sectors will have been constantly monitoring their key dependencies and risks as responsible businesses.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 31/01/2019 16:08:02 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
