answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2015 answer text <p>There are currently no sites approved for fracking in England and Wales. Any operator would need a Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence (PEDL) in place before commencing hydrocarbon operations. A PEDL does not, in and of itself, allow an operator to commence hydrocarbon operations. Rather, they grant exclusivity to licensees within a defined area. All operations would also require local planning permission,Environment Agency permits, Health and Safety Executive scrutiny, Oil and Gas Authority consent and access agreement(s) with relevant landowner(s).</p><br /><p>The Infrastructure Act 2015 introduced a range of further requirements that must be met before an operator can carry out hydraulic fracturing in a responsible, sustainable and safe manner. A hydraulic fracturing consent will not be issued unless my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State is satisfied that the conditions are met. The Secretary of State must also be satisfied that it is appropriate to issue the consent.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 16/11/2015 14:21:51 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2015 answer text <p>Licensing and consent of onshore oil and gas activities in England is now a matter for the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA). Petroleum Exploration and Development Licences are not specific to shale gas. They grant exclusive rights to extract hydrocarbons, including shale gas but also other hydrocarbons, within a particular onshore area. A separate consent from the OGA is required before any drilling or hydraulic fracturing (fracking) can take place, as well as planning permission, environmental permits and review of the well design by the Health and Safety Executive.</p><br /><p>The OGA does not have any undetermined consent applications.</p><br /> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 06/11/2015 13:46:24 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2015 answer text <p>The Written Ministerial Statement by my rt. hon. Friends, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on 16 September 2015 (<em>Official Report, Column 34-38WS</em>), sets out the Government’s view that there is a national need to explore and develop our shale gas and oil resources in a safe, sustainable and timely way, to help meet our objectives for secure energy supplies, economic growth and lower carbon emissions.</p><br /><p>A successful shale industry could help create jobs and grow local economies. Investment in shale could reach £33billion and support up to 64,000 jobs in oil, gas, construction, engineering and chemical sectors. The opportunity to extract this energy, as well as to secure jobs and investment, cannot be ignored.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 02/11/2015 15:40:29 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
