    Shale gas fracking suspended in UK following an earthquake

    Drilling for shale gas at Preston New Road, Little Plumpton, started on 15 October after a legal challenge failed

    Operations have been suspended at the UK's only active shale gas fracking site following an earthquake - just 11 days after it was given the go ahead. Energy firm Cuadrilla said it would halt fracking at the Lancashire site for 18 hours after a tremor of 0.8 magnitude was recorded.
