The Lord Bishop of Exeter asked His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the development of bio-pesticides in England.
Lord Benyon (Con): The Government is committed to supporting farmers and growers to control pests sustainably. This will require innovation, including the development of biopesticides, which often have a lower risk profile than conventional chemical pesticides
Manufacturers seeking authorisation of new biopesticide active substances benefit from tailored advice and reduced fees from the Health and Safety Executive through the Biopesticides Scheme.
