This could really help: Please contact your MP (Barbara Keeley?) - and ask her/him to write to Cameron and insist he stops the cover-up and releases an uncensored version of the fracking report by DEFRA. The only public one has over 60 redacted sections (as we all no doubt recall), some sections relate to house prices and local impacts. How can any MP vote in favour of removing property owners rights to stop fracking (the Infrastructure Bill final vote looks set for this month) without having seen the unredacted report? A lot of MPs, especially Lib Dems and Labour, might willingly press him on this, especially on behalf of anxious constituents - who a) want to know whats going on and b) dont want to loose their property rights. MPs need to remain credible. The Gvmt have talked about transparency. Transparency? If MPs are not shown the whole report, the only responsible thing they can do is vote with Baker/Lucas amendments - to delete all sections removing current land owner rights to stop it. The PM was urged to release the report mid Dec by Tory MP Ann McIntosh. He said hed look into it. The PM must let MPs see it before they vote. That means releasing it this coming week. If you CC the local press in your email, and could post a message on FB to say youve done that, and who your MP is, thats be GREAT. If the Infrastructure Bill fracking sections are not supported by MPs, the industry have said it would basically be impossible to frack the UK. Thank you.
