Rishi Sunak reinstates fracking ban in another government U-turn
During Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, the new prime minister said he stands"by the manifesto" on fracking.
The Conservative 2019 manifesto placed a moratorium on fracking in England following opposition from environmentalists and local communities.Ms Truss lifted the ban last month as part of her plan to limit rising energy costs but said the practice would only resume where there was local consent. Fracking was ultimately what brought her government down after Labour tabled an opposition day motion last Wednesday calling for a draft law to ban fracking.
But the Tory party whips said the motion was actually a vote of confidence in the government and told Conservative MPs they had to vote against it or face being suspended.
