Fracking: Ryedale

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the KM8 pipeline to transport shale gas safely from the KM8 well, if he will publish the evidence on which that assessment has been made; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has inspected the pipeline and is content that the gas from the KM8 well can be safely conveyed within the pipeline, under the current risk management systems employed by Third Energy. If there is any breach of the health and safety regulations resulting in formal enforcement action, HSE will make this public.
