Natural England has not received an application from either licensee for an extension to date. Should an application be made, it would be for Natural England to determine whether or not a licence for an extension should be granted.
Named day
Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
