Petition Let there be a parliamentary debate on fracking under protected national parks

The gov has used “a parliamentary backdoor to put through these weak regulations without a proper debate”1.
Amber Rudd pledged an "outright ban on fracking in national parks [and] sites of special scientific interest”2.
Drilling on/under these sites will pollute the area.
Stop cuts to renewables.
