Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 October 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Oil and Gas.


Oil and Gas

Although the long-stop exists for companies to challenge something through that formal process, that has never actually happened. An optimist might say that that is because everything is going so swimmingly that it is not necessary, but the feedback from those trying to get access is that people are reticent to go to a formal process. In January 2009, the Minister wrote to companies to engage on the issue, but is there any feedback on how that engagement is going?
