Kevin Hollinrake, British Member of Parliament, Meets with Mars Parent Group
September 25, 2015
The Mars Parent Group was contacted by Mr. Hollinrake's office in early September 2015 to schedule a meeting and discussion about fracking impacts in our area. Mr. Hollinrake, elected as a Member of British Parliament in May of 2015, has constituency in Thirsk and Malton of the North Yorkshire area. He traveled to Pennsylvania in late September to meet with PA officials and regulators, industry representatives, and community members to gather information about the possible impacts of fracking in his area. The BBC also followed along with Mr. Hollinrake during his time in PA. Due to time constraints, the Mars Parent Group met separately with Danni Hewson of the BBC for interviews. Danni documented four segments of the trip to PA and included MPG's interview under the "Regulation" video. You can access the videos below.
The Mars Parent Group was honored to host Mr. Hollinrake, his wife, Nikky, and Councillor Bob Gardiner for an afternoon. Although the time was short, we had some time for questions and discussion, a press conference, and two industry site visits in Butler County.
Mr. Hollinrake will now decide, based on the information that he has received and continues to receive, whether or not to allow fracking in his area. You can access Mr. Hollinrake's information and full report on fracking by clicking the link below.
