Glyphosate
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment has she made of the potential impact on a) pre-harvest desiccation and b) the wider farming industry of banning glyphosate.
Answered by Emma Hardy
Defra recognises there is significant interest in the continued access to glyphosate for farmers and growers. The renewal of approval for glyphosate is currently being reviewed in Great Britain (GB) by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Defra cannot pre-judge the outcome of the review.
