I'd like to be sent a copy of the report on any new scientific evidence arising from fracking commissioned from the BGS by DBEIS earlier this year

Our ref: IDA 288836

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request for the report, written for the UK Government, on Recent scientific advances in the understanding of induced seismicity from hydraulic fracturing of shales. Because the request concerns environmental information it has been considered under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. The report has been published by BEIS and is therefore in the public domain. You can access it here https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1105675/BEISInducedSeismicityReportOR220501A.pdf and there are some frequently asked questions answered on our web page here https://www.bgs.ac.uk/news/update-on-scientific-shale-gas-report/.
