answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>Over 80% of Defra’s agenda is affected by the vote to leave the European Union. As a result, Defra has reviewed and reprioritised its work programme so that many roles across the Defra group are now supporting EU exit-related work, either directly or indirectly. Given its extensive impact, it is not possible to give an isolated figure of FTE civil servants working on, or budget for, the EU Exit programme alone.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 12/07/2017 10:46:02 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

Our highest priority will continue to be the protection of people and the environment.</p><p> </p><p>The Government remains of the view that decisions on the use of pesticides should be based on a careful scientific assessment of the risks. Pesticides that carry unacceptable risks to pollinators should not be authorised. The Government keeps the developing evidence on neonicotinoids under review, advised by the UK Expert Committee on Pesticides, but on the basis of current available evidence, we support the existing restrictions.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 04/07/2017 16:46:26 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
