UDig is a large mining company in the private sector. It supplies businesses in country B with 30% of the coal they need. UDig now has eight mines but plans to close two of them and this will threaten 1800 employees with redundancy. The Managing Director said: ‘I blame the appreciation of country B’s exchange rate and new legal controls including those to protect the environment. The Government should help UDig keep these mines open.’
