Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what instances there have been of well integrity failure at onshore oil and gas drill sites operated by Cuadrilla Resources in the UK since 2011; what the nature of such instances were; and if he will make a statement.

There have been no statutory reports to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of an unplanned release of fluids, or of an incident that could have led to an unplanned release of fluids, in relation to oil and gas wells operated by Cuadrilla Resources in the UK since 2011.
