Government fails to publish secret fracking report despite court order

The report, which was written in 2016, examines the potential state of the UK fracking industry in 2020, barriers to expanding the industry and ways the government could remove those barriers, and what can be learned from the experiences of other countries.

Campaign group Greenpeace had successfully appealed against a government decision to deny its request to access the document under freedom of information rules, with the information commissioner giving the Cabinet Office until Monday to publish the report.
