Chris Skidmore – 2022 Statement Confirming Vote Against Fracking

The statement made by Chris Skidmore, the Conservative MP for Kingswood, on 19 October 2022.

As the former Energy Minister who signed Net Zero into law, for the sake of our environment and climate, I cannot personally vote tonight to support fracking and undermine the pledges I made at the 2019 General Election.

I am prepared to face the consequences of my decision.
