BBC News - Fracking: Have the Conservatives left open the back door?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50390334

A Conservative Party spokesperson said: "The government has placed a moratorium on fracking in England with immediate effect by making it our policy not to issue any Hydraulic Fracturing Consents. This does not technically prevent applications, but it does mean that they will be refused.

"We have also ruled out any changes to the planning system, having listened to local residents. Fracking is now off the table. We would only ever change our position if both the science supported it and communities wanted it."
