On 22 September 2022 The Shadow Minister for Energy Ed Miliband asked an Urgent Question as the Government made an announcement about lifting the ban on fracking without announcing this to Parliament. I was called to ask a question. The Secretary of State was referring to those of us who oppose the fracking as “Luddites” that we do not move with the times so I asked :
“I wonder whether the Secretary of State would placate the luddites and publish the up-to-date evidence that enabled the Government to U-turn on both their manifesto commitment and the previous Prime Minister’s policy.”
