No, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking

Disagree

Yes, but increase oversight

While the Labour party may agree with the need for oversight, their primary stance is against fracking altogether. Their focus is on banning fracking and transitioning to renewable energy sources, so increased oversight would not align with their overall goals.

Disagree

Yes, but increase oversight
