Frack M'Lud? [Lords of the Manor rush to register mineral rights]
Whatever your views on fracking, we have a right to know who owns the mineral rights under our homes. News that peers of the realm are rushing to register their mineral rights has come as a shock to many in the East Midlands. Thousands of residents in Ilkeston are now receiving notices that mineral rights under their homes belong to the Duke of Rutland. What about the the other great estates in the East Midlands? Petroleum Exploration & Development Licenses licences have already been issued for land from East Leake through Wymeswold, to Melton Mowbray; yet few residents are aware of this. I think we have a right to know, and what compensation will be paid for the inevitable drop in house prices.
