UK Shale Gas

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 July 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Backbench debate on UK Shale Gas.

The right hon. Gentleman is making some good points about uncertainty, which I can echo from my constituency. Is he slightly disturbed or alarmed, as I am, to hear that the Environment Agency aims to cut its process down to six weeks by September and to between one and two weeks by early next year, and to base that process on rules? I am concerned that each site should be considered on its own merits. We should not have a rulebook approach or deal with things using a method based on “Let’s get this out in one to two weeks.”
