The hon. Member for Bura has information but I have not seen it. If I receive that information I will undertake, although I have I already made an undertaking that I will visit Bura. What I am saying is that we have laws that should be used to solve problems, as the hon. Member is saying. If you have a mining site to which a license has been issued, until we do the abandonment procedure of the site, it remains a mining site. My hope is that this is an area that has been abandoned because if it has not been abandoned then it is in the hands of the licencee. I want to say that if there is any information that the hon. Member has, even before I visit Bura, we can have it and act on it but the procedure of abandonment is very clear. When a site has been abandoned, we go back to the laws of the National Environment and Management Authority (NEMA) to make sure that they do the rehabilitation properly."}
