Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 December 2025

Debate

Small-scale Fracking Ban

Contribution

I commend the hon. Lady for securing this debate. The Government must commit to ensuring that local people have the final say. In terms of buying property or businesses in a certain area, fracking should be unable to go ahead without the say-so of the entire local community and the Government must abide by that decision. Does the hon. Lady agree?
