However, we are working closely with Member States and our partners in the EU institutions to ensure a common understanding of the threats we face and how best we can continue to cooperate in this important area. Ministers and senior officials from across Government have been engaging extensively across all other 27 Member States. We continue to welcome ministers from across Europe to the UK on a regular basis. This engagement will continue to be an important part of our work as we develop a deep and special partnership with the EU. We are clear that we want the EU to succeed: a successful EU, with the UK as its closest partner, is in all of our shared interests.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 14/12/2017 17:08:57 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

tabling member constituency	Fylde
tabling member printed	Mark Menzies
uin	117961
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2017 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) reviews the evidence base on the health impacts of chemical and radiological emissions associated with shale gas extraction as it emerges, considering the available evidence as a whole. Currently, PHE has not identified any significant new evidence that would make the Department change its view that the potential risks to public health from exposure to emissions associated with shale gas extraction will be low if operations are properly run and regulated. This means that good on-site management and appropriate regulation of all aspects from exploratory drilling, gas capture, use and storage of fracking fluid, and post-operations decommissioning are essential to minimise the risk to the environment and public health. If significant new evidence emerged this would be discussed with the Department of Health and other Government departments.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 11/12/2017 17:35:39 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
