Rejected petition Restore the ban on Neonicotinoids.
Rejected on
Follow the Wildlife Trusts report on Reversing the Decline of Insects in the UK, starting with restoring the ban on Neonicotinoids.
Tough new standards should be introduced on the use of pesticides, and support should be put in place to help farmers follow insect friendly practices.
Only the Government has the power to ban the use of these chemicals in the UK, and the Tory manifesto promised not only support for the environment, but support for British farmes too. This is something that can do both of those at once.
