I move amendment No. 3:

In page 3, between lines 26 and 27, to insert the following:“Short title

2. This Act may be cited as the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Prohibition of Onshore Hydraulic Fracturing) Act 2017.”.

Amendments Nos. 3 and 5 are technical amendments to reflect the purpose of the Bill. My amendment amends the main petroleum legislation, the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act 1960.
