I am disappointed by the Minister’s response so far.

I agree completely with my hon. Friend.

I will give way to my right hon. Friend the Member for East Yorkshire (Sir Greg Knight).

I concur with my hon. Friend’s statement on that matter.

As the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on the impact of shale gas—the hon.

I will not take objections. What we need to debate here is the proposals on permitted development and NSIP.

I will give way to my hon. Friend the Member for Thirsk and Malton (Kevin Hollinrake) and then to the hon.

If hon. Members will bear with me, I will do one to two minutes of introduction and then I will be happy to take interventions.

I will not give way for the moment.

I welcome the hon. Gentleman’s involvement in this. This is my second debate on this question, and I welcome his attendance.
