The Government is “completely all over the place” on the future of fracking and has “ignored” companies who want to carry out hydraulic fracturing, ministers have been told.
Shadow climate change secretary Ed Miliband made the claim as MPs tried to “smoke out” the official position on the future of fracking in the UK.
Conservative MP Lee Anderson (Ashfield) also urged the Government to be clear on whether energy firm Cuadrilla still needs to carry out the abandonment process of their wells in Lancashire, which at the moment are set to be concreted over.
