tabling member constituency	Oxford East
tabling member printed	Mr Andrew Smith
uin	192703
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text <p>The Environment Agency has set out its regulatory controls over leakage of methane from shale gas exploration in its draft technical guidance. The Agency expects operators to aim for 100% containment of fugitive emissions of methane on shale gas exploration sites and the operator will need to provide details of how their monitoring, inspection and maintenance regime will achieve this. The Environment Agency is assessing its regulation of full production facilities and the expectation is that the requirement for 100% containment will remain in place.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon
