Plaid Cymru welcomes government fracking decision

Llyr Gruffydd AM of Plaid Cymru has said: "The decision not to permit further licensing for fracking in Wales suggests our pressure has worked. I have pressed both DECC and the Welsh Government to uphold a moratorium on fracking in Wales and this decision appears to reflect the strength of popular opinion in Wales. Devolved powers in this field will ensure dangerous fracking doesn't risk our communities, water and environment."
