question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they plan to take to ensure that regulations governing the exploitation on a significant scale of shale gas by fracking will be robust and will not permit an unacceptable level of self-regulation.

The Government will keep the regulatory regime for shale under review as the industry develops to ensure it is proportionate and fit for purpose.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 15/09/2016 15:26:11 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
