The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to help tackle harm to pollinators in the West Midlands.

Answered by Mary Creagh

Pollinators are an essential part of our environment and play a crucial role in food production. Following the conclusion of our National Pollinator Strategy in 2024, we will be designing and delivering a refreshed Pollinator Action Plan, that sits underneath our broader Environmental Improvement Plan. This will set out key actions for pollinators across every area in England, including the West Midlands.
