answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government commissioned the British Geological Survey to advise on the latest scientific evidence around shale gas extraction. The Government has now received the report, which is under careful review, and will make any decisions on the next steps in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The exploration of shale gas reserves in England could only proceed if the science shows that it is safe, sustainable and of minimal disturbance to those living and working nearby. Any exploration or development of shale gas would need to meet rigorous safety and environmental protections both above ground and sub-surface.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 25/07/2022 11:24:29 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2019 answer text <p>The Department has not undertaken such assessments. As part of the assessment of an application for hydraulic fracturing operations, the Oil &amp; Gas Authority (OGA) requires operators to have in place the necessary funds or an insurance policy (including third-party liability) that will cover unforeseen events. In addition to insurance cover, landowners can bring a claim against a shale gas operator if its activities caused damage to their property.</p><p> </p><p>Hydraulic fracturing has taken place at two sites in Lancashire to date. Following a seismic event linked to Cuadrilla’s operations on 26 August a small number of reports of minor cosmetic damage have been investigated by the operator’s insurer and this is a matter for the operator and homeowners.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has always been clear that it will only support the exploration of our shale gas resources in a safe and sustainable way. The Oil and Gas Authority is undertaking a scientific analysis of the data from Cuadrilla’s earlier operations in 2018 which will be published shortly. The Government will set out our future approach once we have considered the findings.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 17/10/2019 14:39:19 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
