The APPG on Shale Gas Regulation and Planning was set up by Conservative MP Kevin Hollinrake in March 2016 after he resigned as vice chair of the All=Party Parliamentary Group on Unconventional Oil and Gas following pressure from his constitutents over his role in that group, which has received substantial funding from the shale and unconventional gas industry.

Hollinrake was appointed chair of the APPG, which he said was funded by him.

The Group's purpose is 'to recommend an effective regulation and planning regime should shale gas extraction take place'.
