Update -- insects --- 38 Degree
Following the Government’s shocking decision to approve the use of the banned neonicotinoid thiamethoxam on sugar beet in England, a debate will take place on Wednesday 2nd February to discuss its use and impact on pollinators.
Former Shadow Environment Secretary, Luke Pollard MP has secured a Westminster Hall debate at 0930 on Wednesday 2nd February to challenge the Government decision. This follows over 60,000 signatures from members of the public calling on the Government to include action on pesticides in the recently passed Environment Act, that would have stopped this wildlife harming chemical being used. MPs voted against the inclusion of this amendment.
Buglife and other environmental campaigners will be briefing MPs ahead of the debate. Please ask your MP to attend and speak up in favour of protecting pollinators.
Thank you for standing with me on this issue.
