Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has to review the traffic light monitoring system for regulating fracking-induced seismicity.
Answered by Kelly Tolhurst

These regulations have been working as intended and there are no plans to review the Traffic Light System.
