Stop the removal of the ban on usage of neonicotinoids post-Brexit.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the removal of the ban on usage of neonicotinoids in British farming post-Brexit to protect the bees and other pollinators in the UK.
The use of neonicotinoids has a devastating impact on the bee population which is already at risk. We’ve lost a third of the bee population in the UK in the last decade - we cannot let it be further decimated by the usage of these harmful pesticides. This ban which was previously supported by the UK parliament is being revoked now that we are exiting the EU, and will have a horrendous impact on the pollinators in UK wildlife if it is allowed to continue.
