Fracking

Debate between Lord Duncan of Springbank and Lord Geddes

Thursday 9th January 2020 Lords Chamber

[Lord Duncan of Springbank]

Cuadrilla has removed all its fracking equipment from the Preston New Road site and no work whatever is anticipated to continue there. The noble Lord will be aware that drilling can take place for a whole range of reasons, not just for the wider energy world. We will continue to monitor it to the highest possible standards where it can continue to be done.

[Lord Geddes (Con)]

My Lords, could the Minister advise the House of Her Majesty’s Government’s view on tidal energy?

[Lord Duncan of Springbank]

Love it—we should be doing a lot more of it.
