The MP for Brighton Pavilion Caroline Lucas has been released on police bail after being arrested during anti-fracking protests in Balcombe yesterday (Monday 19 August).

The 52-year-old Green MP, who lives in Brighton, was arrested on suspicion of ignoring directions to leave the protest area.

She has been bailed to report to Sussex Police next Tuesday (27 August) when she will find out whether she is to be charged under the Public Order Act.

One of Dr Lucas’s two sons was also among the 29 people who were arrested in Balcombe yesterday.

This morning (Tuesday 20 August) she told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 that she did not go to the protest at Balcombe intending to be arrested.

She said: “I’ve been campaigning against fracking and doing everything I can to combat climate change all of my political life.

“As with all new technologies, there are a lot of fears and perhaps some exaggeration.

“I certainly don’t accept every single thing that people say about fracking.

“But I think the reason that there are so many concerns is because it still doesn’t feel as if we have had a very honest debate about this.

“I think people are still very, very suspicious of a government, for example, who will claim it is going to lead to lower prices.

“Yet the evidence we have seen from people like Ofgem and Deutsche Bank is that because the gas markets and geology are so very different in the EU from the US there’s no real reason to expect those lower prices to happen here.”

Sussex Police said that the following had been charged, bailed or otherwise dealt with.
