Agricultural Transition Plan

Proceeding contribution from Tony Lloyd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 November 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Agricultural Transition Plan.

I very much welcome what the Minister has had to say about the restoration of peatlands, but can he go a little further in terms of the natural environment? Does he guarantee that there will be less use, for example, of phosphates and therefore less phosphate run-off? Does he guarantee that we will see no return to the use of the pernicious neonicotinoids that are so damaging to our pollinators, which are so necessary to our agriculture?
