Closed petition Provide Sirius minerals with full Loan Guarantee from HM treasury.
Closed on
Sirius minerals is currently building a multi billion pound fertilizer mine in Yorkshire which will boost exports and create thousands of jobs locally and nationally. the government as of today will not fully support this project with loan guarantees.
The government will not take a stand and guarantee the jobs for thousands of UK workers in the form of a FULL loan guarantee, all the time companies are currently making redundancies, Jaguar Land rover for instance currently set to make 4000 plus redundant. Get your priorities straight, stop squabbling about Brexit which is eroding this country and fund this project, your country needs it.

The Government’s interactions with Sirius Minerals are commercially confidential and it is therefore not possible to comment further on the particulars of dealings between Government and Sirius Minerals. However, we wish to assure all interested parties that all requests for Government financial support are assessed in great detail and must meet necessary assistance criteria. When examining any request for financing, the Government has to assess the potential benefits of a project against the need to protect taxpayers’ money.
