Sammy Wilson has again voiced his support for fracking, asking the new Prime Minister if she accepts “it is absolute madness to turn our back” on “150 years worth of gas under the ground”.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique used to extract gas and oil by creating underground cracks with high pressure and chemicals.
