Excerpt:
Shadow energy secretary Lisa Nandy accused ministers of using a "parliamentary backdoor" to try to approve the "weak regulations" without debate.
She said: "Fracking should not go ahead in Britain until stronger safeguards are in place to protect drinking water sources and sensitive parts of our countryside like national parks."

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The statutory instrument was voted on and approved on Wednesday 16 December, so it is not now possible for a debate to happen before it is approved.

There is a petition open calling for the decision to be reversed:
