Speaking at a conference earlier this week, Tony Grayling, head of climate change and communities at the Environment Agency, told delegates exploratory fracking should resume after the investigation.

“There are significant environmental risks associated with shale gas as there are with other industrial activities,” he was reported by news agency Bloomberg as saying. “We think those risks can be managed.”
