Are you aware of the major issues affecting minerals supply and the potential impact on the UK? Do you understand how increasing demand and resourcing could affect the UK economy? Is your organisation able to adapt to changes in legislation and regulation?

Addressed by John Cridland, CBI deputy director-general, the conference is a one-day event and exhibition focusing on the outcomes of the work of the UK Minerals Forum, launched last year by Baroness Andrews OBE, Parliamentary under Secretary of State at CLG. Hear about the conclusions of this work and discuss and influence how it will impact future mineral supply policy.

Key topics covered will include:
  • Declining mineral reserves and the future security of supply
  • Mineral extraction in National Parks and AONBs
  • Carbon and proximity of mineral supply
  • Cumulative impact of policy, legislation and regulation.
  • Join us for this inspiring and informative event, network with key stakeholders and, afterwards, enjoy a reception hosted by the APMG on the Terrace at the House of Commons.
