Pro-fracking views
During the second day of House of Commons debate on the 2015 Queen’s Speech Pincher reiterated his support for the development of shale gas in the UK,
- I hope that the Energy Bill will focus on increasing the exploitation of our shale gas reserves, which can not only provide the Treasury with a welcome income stream and provide many thousands of new jobs, but help our energy security. I trust also that the Bill will look at increasing and enhancing gas storage facilities around our country so that we are not just a few hours away from running out of gas, as we have been in some winters.
