  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye to devolve the regulation of shale gas extraction in Scotland to the Scottish Parliament.
  @ MP voted no not to devolve the regulation of shale gas extraction in Scotland to the Scottish Parliament.
   
  The majority of MPs voted not to devolve the regulation of shale gas extraction in Scotland to the Scottish Parliament.
  
  MPs were considering the Infrastructure Bill[1]. 
  
  The proposed new clause rejected in this vote stated:
  
  :(1) The [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/contents Scotland Act 1998] is amended as follows:
  
  :(2) In [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/schedule/5/part/II/crossheading/head-d-energy Schedule 5, Part II, section D2], after âgas other than through pipes,â, insertâ
  
  :â( ) The licensing of onshore shale gas extraction underlying Scotland.
  
  :( ) Responsibility for mineral access rights for onshore extraction of shale gas in Scotland.
  
  Had it not been rejected this clause would have added the regulation of shale gas extraction in Scotland to a list of exceptions to the devolution of powers relating to oil and gas in Scotland to the Scottish Parliament.
