To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they consider that the current wording of the European Union Plant Reproductive Material legislation will enable them to protect home gardeners and allotment holders as well as United Kingdom seed producers' interests and the United Kingdom's diverse seed heritage.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they consider that the current wording of the European Union Plant Reproductive Material legislation will enable them to protect home gardeners and allotment holders as well as United Kingdom seed producers' interests and the United Kingdom's diverse seed heritage.
The Government did not think that the European Commission’s original proposals made appropriate provisions to protect the interests of UK gardeners, allotment holders and seed producers, and negotiated accordingly in the Council Working Party. However, these proposals have since been rejected by the European Parliament and we await a Commission redraft.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what input they have had into the redrafting of the proposed European Union Plant Reproductive Material legislation.

My Lords, does the Minister agree that neonicotinoids are applied as a seed dressing and are therefore in the soil? One of the questions the Government need to look at under the precautionary principle is how long they last in the soil as they are lethal not only to bees but to many of the invertebrates that live in that soil.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assistance they will be providing to the United Kingdom agricultural sector to prepare for the end of the milk quotas and maintain a sustainable dairy industry. [HL2700]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assistance they will be providing to the United Kingdom agricultural sector to prepare for the end of the milk quotas and maintain a sustainable dairy industry. [HL2700]
The forthcoming abolition of quotas coupled with growing global demand for dairy products creates a window of opportunity for UK dairying.
The Government are supporting the UK dairy industry to capitalise on these opportunities through the ministerial-led Dairy Supply Chain Forum and our strong support for the industry's Dairy 2020 initiative. The aim is to focus on issues and opportunities, the health and future of the dairy sector, and how the industry might exploit domestic and export markets and secure its own sustainability and long-term British milk supply.
The Government are encouraging dairy farmers and processors to sign up to the recently published industry code of practice so that they can start to see the many beneficial terms of the code translated into milk supply contracts. The Government will consult on the implementation of the EU Dairy Package this
autumn, which will provide an opportunity for industry to innovate and build collaboration through the supply chain.
The Government have announced £5 million in additional funds under the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) Rural Economy Grant scheme for high quality projects from the dairy industry, which can help producers to increase their competitiveness and added value to boost their market returns.
The industry and the Government are both investing substantial sums in research in the sector.
