Rejected petition Reverse the decision to allow fracking beneath national parks.

MPs have narrowly voted to allow fracking for shale gas 1,200m below national parks and other protected sites. This is despite the lack of a proper Commons debate and a previous pledge by ministers for an outright ban on fracking in national parks.
