"Commenting on the revelation that a motion put forward by at least 20 SNP party branches calling for a complete ban on unconventional gas and fracking has been excluded from the spring conference agenda, Friends of the Earth Scotland Director Richard Dixon said:
`It is disgraceful that the SNP have rigged the agenda of the spring conference to avoid a debate that would embarrass the leadership.`"
"Following a confused process at last year’s autumn conference, at least 20 branches backed a motion calling for a complete ban on unconventional fossil fuels including fracking. Judging by the mood in the room last autumn there is little doubt that had the motion made it onto the spring agenda the party would vote for a full ban.
Community campaigners and party members across the country will be deeply disappointed with the SNP today."
