Honey Bee Health

I completely agree. In fact, that issue will make up a substantial part of the second section of my contribution, so perhaps the hon. Gentleman will bear with me and hold that thought. If I do not cover any of his points in quite the way that he would like, perhaps he can top up my contribution later. We have had the welcome announcement of £10 million for pollinator research, plus the extra £2.4 million over two years for the National Bee Unit. We therefore need to move from campaigning to setting up a programme to ensure that the money is spent productively and in a way that hits the various bases that need to be hit to ensure that we genuinely understand the problems of honey bee health. I therefore suggest that we consider setting up an all-party parliamentary group to track progress and make sure that the money continues to be spent in a way that meets the objectives that we and the British Beekeepers Association have laid out, and that that happens with a greater degree of public accountability. Perhaps any hon. Member who is interested in setting up such an all-party group will contact me in my office later; or I could give way to my hon. Friend the Member for Wantage (Mr. Vaizey) who may want to suggest something. Does my hon. Friend want to make an intervention or is he signalling that he would like to be involved in the group?
