Two emergency authorisations have been granted for the use of these restricted neonicotinoids. Those authorisations, issued in July 2015, allowed limited and controlled use on oilseed rape until November 2015. In total, eight applications for use of the same neonicotinoids have been turned down between 2015 and 2017. All decisions are made on the basis of advice from the independent UK Expert Committee on Pesticides.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 27/04/2017 06:55:54 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
