Just a few questions from Joe Public about fracking: What will we get out of it? Will our energy bills go down long-term? Has fuel gone down with North Sea oil? No!

Will the companies not start selling this gas to the highest bidder/country? These are private companies who can legally do this if they wish.

Do I trust my local county council with the money they will get on our behalf? No.

I’m afraid those with short memories will not remember the last list of promises when we hit ‘black gold’ in the North Sea.

These are the questions Mr Cameron should be asking.
