- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many businesses are authorised to passport the movement of ash trees in the UK.
[130064]
- Answer
-
The Plant Health (Forestry) (Amendment) Order 2012 prohibits all movements of ash plants, trees and seeds into and within Great Britain unless the material originates from a pest free area. Equivalent legislation exists in Northern Ireland. As yet no pest free areas have been recognised and there are no nurseries authorised to issue plant passports for the movement of ash plants, trees or seeds in the UK.
