Recommendation 27
27
Paragraph: 173
Government's six-year delay in publishing National Action Plan for Sustainable Pesticide Use is unacceptable.
Conclusion
The UK has made international commitments to reducing the overall risk caused by pesticides by at least half by 2030. Whilst we acknowledge that updating the National Action Plan for Sustainable Pesticide Use, the UK implementation plan to achieve these commitments, is a substantial task for the Government, this does not excuse the six-year delay in the publication of this crucial policy.
