I think it is far from said and done. When the boss of a fracking company says he will pull out of the UK unless the law is changed something has seriously rattled his cage. OK, someone has said yes, and probably been paid for it, but the companies are now seeing that it is a political hot potato and there is every chance that the laws will not be changed. That is, in my opinion, what Francis Egan is shouting about. Watch for some red faces when they have to give the money back for reneging on promises :-)
