question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the use of glyphosate is consistent with plans to conserve and increase the population of pollinating insects in the UK.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL15675
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/05/2019 answer text <p>For all pesticides, the Government carries out a thorough assessment of the scientific evidence, drawing on advice from experts in the Health and Safety Executive and the UK Expert Committee on Pesticides. The current evidence shows that glyphosate pesticides do not carry unacceptable risks to pollinators and can therefore be authorised. Ministers have acted where the evidence shows an unacceptable impact on bees – for example, with respect to neonicotinoids.</p><p> </p><p>Any highly effective means of removing flowering weeds can reduce the food and shelter available to pollinators. We are taking action to provide wildflower-rich habitat through the National Pollinator Strategy, including supporting partnerships of landowners and conservationists on large-scale habitat management projects. In 2015, we introduced new and simple agri-environment ‘packages’ to make it easier for farmers to put flowers back into fields. We are also raising awareness to help everyone support pollinators through action in their gardens and public spaces, through the ‘Bees’ Needs’ campaign.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan puts Integrated Pest Management (IPM) at the heart of its approach. This means developing and implementing policies that encourage and support sustainable crop protection with the use of pesticides and their impact kept to a minimum.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 28/05/2019 15:55:21 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL15676
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/05/2019 answer text <p>In 2018 the UK was the second largest market for ultra-low emission vehicles and the fourth largest market for battery electric vehicles.
