Last month the government controversially lifted the ban on fracking in England but tonight (19 October) MPs will vote on a Labour motion which could potentially stop the ban from being lifted.

MPs last voted on fracking in December 2015 – four years before Boris Johnson’s Conservative government imposed a ban, or “moratorium”, until such time as there was scientific proof it could be carried out safely.

The 2015 vote had paved the way for fracking to go ahead beneath National Parks, the Broads, areas of outstanding natural beauty, World Heritage sites and near points where water is extracted for domestic and food production, at depths deeper than 1,200 metres

The majority of MPs voted to ease restrictions in 2015 when they voted to allow fracking in those areas, provided drilling started outside of protected areas and travelled underneath them horizontally.

The vote was widely criticised at the time by Labour and Conservative MPs – many of which have fracking licences within their constituencies –  as well as environmentalists. According to The Public Whip, which publishes data on how MPs vote, 261 voted against the extension while 298 voted for it.

Fracking, which is short for hydraulic fracturing, is the process of extracting oil and natural gas from shale rock. It remains highly controversial and is banned across many countries in Europe after being linked to water pollution and climate change.

However, the Government said yesterday (22 September) that the war in Ukraine meant “all avenues” of energy generation had to be explored and announced the lifting of the ban.

The announcement was immediately criticised by environmentalists, as well as by politicians with some Tory MPs even saying it won’t work.

How did your MP vote at the last fracking vote? See below whether your MP voted to allow fracking under National Parks and other protected areas.

If your MP has changed since 2015, they will not be included.
