We believe the Government should provide urgent short-term support to UK Coal We, the undersigned, call on the Government to support UK Coal following the outbreak of a major fire at Daw Mill Colliery. As well as the 650 jobs at risk at Daw Mill Colliery, UK Coal employs 1,800 people across its other mines, including at Thoresby in Nottinghamshire and provides the UK with around 5% of its energy needs. We note that the remaining pits, including Thoresby, are financially viable, and urge the government to provide urgent short-term assistance to UK Coal to help secure future viability.
