Leader Jim Murphy' says a three-point plan would halt shale gas extraction, halting the controversial practice from adversely affecting Scots.

It involves a local referendum before final planning approval, waiting to see how other parts of the UK are affected, and a full review of the baseline conditions before consent is given.
