'''Keith Brown''' is the [[Scottish National Party]] member of parliament for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane. <ref>[http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/Commons/xxxxx Keith Brown Biography], www.parliament.co.uk, accessed 2 June 2016</ref> He was appointed Scottish energy secretary in May 2016 as part of the 'Economy, Jobs and Fair Work' ministerial portfolio. Before this Brown was infrastructure secretary.

==Background==

==Fracking==
Questions have been raised over whether Brown's latest ministerial role presents a conflict of interest given that that his new responsibilities include 'energy and energy consent'.

Brown's parliamentary seat sits in the the prime shale zone north of the border, known as the Midland Valley of Scotland, identified by the [[British Geological Survey]] as a “prospective for oil-mature” shale and “prospective for gas-mature” shale.

Half his constituency lies inside a 330-square-kilometre zone named PEDL 133, an area licensed by the UK Government for hydrocarbon exploration (though not yet extraction) which includes Grangemouth.
