Edinburgh, 3 October 2019. Pictured: Paul Wheelhouse MSP - Energy Minister, who said, “The Scottish Government’s final policy position is that we do not support the development of unconventional oil and gas – often known as ‘fracking’ - in Scotland.” Ministerial Statement: Scotland’s Onshore Unconventional Oil and Gas Policy. The Scottish Government has set out a finalised policy of no support for unconventional oil and gas (UOG) development in Scotland. Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse confirmed this position following a comprehensive period of evidence-gathering and consultation, including environmental and business assessments. He also set out the factors which led to this decision, including the incompatibility of UOG development with climate change policy.
