Details of meetings between DECC Ministers and external organisations are published quarterly on the department's website. Since June 2011 DECC officials have met Cuadrilla 10 times, with DECC's Head of Licensing Exploration and Development and Mark Miller (CEO, Cuadrilla) attending eight of these. These meetings, which did not cover regulations, were to discuss operational issues, exploration results, and/or seismicity. There are no regulations on shale gas drilling as such, shale gas activities are subject to the same regulations as other oil and gas exploration and production activities, and there have been no meetings since June 2011 between DECC officials and Centrica (British Gas) or any other company on these regulations.
