To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what his policy is on establishing a regional pilot scheme ban within the UK on the use of neonicotinoid pesticides.
Measures recently proposed by the European Commission to restrict authorisations of three neonicotinoid insecticides (clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) will come into force later this year. The Government will implement those measures on the date required. The Government have no plans, either nationally or on a regional or pilot basis, to impose additional restrictions or to introduce the restrictions at an earlier date.
