Environment Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 9 April 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
(1) when his Department will (a) complete and (b) publish its review of the Chalara management plan; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what the reasons are for the time taken for the review of the Chalara management plan; why the updated plan was not published by the Government's March 2014 target; and if he will make a statement.
The Government will publish an updated management approach to ‘Chalara’ alongside updated management approaches to other established tree pests and diseases, and those that pose an imminent threat, in a single Tree Health Management Plan. This plan will set out the action that the Government and others are taking to protect our tree population from pests and diseases. It will be published alongside the wider Plant Biosecurity Strategy later this spring.
