Eric Ollerenshaw is the UK Conservative Party MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood.

Pushing for better benefits from fracking

In 2013 Ollerenshaw convened a cross-party meeting with other Lancashire MPs to join forces and demand more money for their constituents from the UK Government in return for “fracking rights” after concluding that the sweeteners being offered were not good enough. Describing it as 'practical politics' Eric Ollerenshaw explained that they wanted a bigger share of the profits than the £100,000 of community benefits per well drilled promised, and the proposed 1 per cent share of revenues generated when production starts.'

“We don’t want the crumbs off the table. We want to make sure we get something out of this for the long-term for Lancashire as a whole”, said Ollerenshaw.
