Third Energy had been due to frack in Yorkshire, subject to government checks on its financial health. Meanwhile around 20 Tory MPs plan to vote against fast-tracking planning for fracking, according to reports.
The Guardian reports that “the resignation of Keith Cochrane, the former interim chief executive of outsourcing firm Carillion, and Jitesh Gadhia, a Conservative party peer and Tory donor, was disclosed in company filings this week.”
Further evidence that government is backing the wrong horse in its energy policy.
