I move amendment No. 5:

In page 3, to delete lines 7 to 9 and substitute the following:“An Act to amend the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act 1960 to provide for the prohibition of exploration for and extraction of onshore petroleum by means of hydraulic fracturing; and to provide for related matters.”.

My amendment reflects that this is an Act to amend the original Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act 1960. It provide for the prohibition of the exploration and extraction of onshore petroleum by means of hydraulic fracturing and to provide for related matters.
