NEONICOTINOIDS

Early day motion 1359, tabled 12 April 2016 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House notes the overwhelming evidence that pesticides containing dangerous neonicotinoids are harmful to the environment and much of the wildlife within it, most notably the common bee species; and calls on the Government to give its continued support to the current EU-wide ban on neonics and argue for its further extension to cover all crops when it is reviewed next year.
