Cabinet Office ignores court order to release secret fracking report

Labour says failure to share document raises doubts about Tories' promise to halt fracking

The Cabinet Office has defied a court order to release a secret government report on the UK's fracking industry.

Officials were expected to hand over the report on Monday, days before Britain's first general election leaders' debate on the climate crisis, after the information tribunal ruled it was in the public interest to disclose its findings in full.
