The opposition wants to use a vote in Parliament to thwart Prime Minister Liz Truss's fracking plans.
Fracking is a controversial practice that involves drilling into the earth to recover oil and gas from shale rock.
When lifting the ban last month, the government said fracking would only resume where there is local consent. But on Wednesday, Labour will use an opposition day debate to push for such a vote in the House of Commons. One Labour source said MPs in areas impacted by fracking "will have to consider their constituents before they troop through the lobbies".
"Every Conservative MP who opposes fracking must now put country over party and support Labour's ban on fracking," he said.
