Labour motion on vote over fracking ban defeated in House of Commons – video

A Labour motion that would have forced a vote on a bill to ban fracking has been defeated in the House of Commons. The government has won the vote after MPs voted 230 for yes, 326 for no, giving a government majority of 96.

It had earlier been reported that the Conservative party whip had made it a confidence vote, although three Tory MPs said they would refuse to vote to back fracking, even if it meant they would lose the party whip.

The vice-chairman of the 1992 Committee, Wiliam Wragg, admitted he would be voting against his principles on fracking to keep his position
