Exploration or development of shale gas will need to meet rigorous safety and environmental standards, including those set by the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive.
Whether it is his policy to promote fracking.
Whether it is his policy to promote fracking.
As we make the transition to low carbon energy, the UK still needs gas.
The Government believes shale gas is an important new domestic energy source as it meets of 30% of our energy demand
We have been clear that any hydraulic fracturing has to be consistent with one of toughest regulatory regimes in the world.
Fracking is bad for the environment, our health, our democracy, our landscape and even the courts. Does the Minister recognise that the Government are on shaky ground, quite literally, and will they ditch their support for this failing industry?

We have said repeatedly that the opportunity to create a home-grown energy source that provides thousands of jobs in parts of the country that economic policies have not been able to help, with the toughest regulations for oil and gas exploration in the world, is something that we should soberly and sensibly explore. That continues to be the case.

Mike Amesbury (Weaver Vale) (Lab):
Agents from the shale gas company INEOS recently posted a pre-named contract to my constituent Alison Davies, asking her to agree to a geological survey on her farm. Alison had already rejected this request when she was door-stepped a few days earlier. Does the Prime Minister know what it feels like to get an unsolicited letter from a
group who will not take no for an answer, and will she join the Welsh and Scottish Governments by saying no to fracking in England?

Shale gas extraction could be a very important part of ensuring energy security in this country, and I am sure all the hon. Gentleman’s constituents and the constituents of others represented in this House will want to ensure the Government are doing everything they can to make sure we maintain our energy security and we do not see the lights being turned off.

In 2012, an independent review by the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering concluded that the environmental risks associated with hydraulic fracturing can be managed effectively in the UK if operational best practices are implemented and enforced through regulation. In 2013, the Environment Agency (EA) published ‘An Environmental Risk Assessment for Shale Gas Exploratory Operations in England’ on gov.uk, which reviewed the potential environmental risks and how they can be minimised and managed through environmental regulation. We have a robust regulatory regime in this country, which the Government has committed to keep under review as the industry develops. The EA carries out detailed site specific risk assessments where fracking is proposed and will not issue a permit unless it is satisfied that the risks can be managed.
