To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, on what basis parts of the (a) body and (b) conclusions of the Rural Community Policy Unit report on Shale Gas Rural Economy Impacts, published in March 2014, were redacted.

The draft Rural Economy Impacts paper was an internal document that is not analytically robust. It has not been published and we have no plans to do so. The full list of references on which it was based has been released under Environmental Information Regulations. Redactions were made to the draft paper based on exceptions under the Environmental Information Regulations; Ministers were not involved in this process.

The only well on which any hydraulic fracturing activity has been carried out for oil in the last five years was Wytch Farm F25 in Dorset in May 2012—a water injection well drilled by Perenco at Wytch Farm oil field. In this standard procedure for improving recovery, cold seawater and produced water is injected in to the sandstone reservoir rock to flush the oil producing wells, and the temperature difference creates local thermal fractures near the borehole.
When planning applications for oil and gas sites are submitted, the Environment Agency review the waste water disposal options and require environmental permits where necessary. To date, all such activity has been conventional exploration.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what discussions on fracking he has had with his European counterparts.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what discussions on fracking he has had with his European counterparts.
The European Commission has been assessing the existing framework for the extraction of unconventional hydrocarbons across member states. During this process the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, the right hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Mr Davey), has been engaged with his European counterparts.
The UK has over 50 years of experience regulating onshore oil and gas activity, and is in a prime position to provide guidance and examples of best practice when it comes to regulating the unconventional sector. It is important to engage with European counterparts to ensure that the development of a European shale industry is regulated in a responsible and environmentally safe manner.
