Original Note:
NNN While the Tories did pass a bill banning neonicotinoid pesticides, it came with "temporary exemptions" that allowed for continued use over the last 6 years. Labour have removed those exemptions (one of their election manifesto pledges) causing the ban to come into effect. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-new-approach-to-the-use-of-certain-neonicotinoids-on-crops-grown-in-england/a-new-approach-to-the-use-of-certain-neonicotinoids-on-crops-grown-in-england
