We were conscious of the need to include the word "prohibition". The word was in the original Title. As this is an amendment, and it now becomes an amendment of the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act 1960, we wanted to ensure that the word "prohibition" was included. This Act may be cited now with the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act (Prohibition of Onshore Hydraulic Fracturing) Act 2017.
