Proceeding contribution from Sarah Newton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on National Pollinator Strategy.
National Pollinator Strategy
My hon. Friend makes a very good point. Without the services of these pollinators, who depend on the sorts of measures my hon. Friend has mentioned, we would see a decline in the variety and availability of nutritious food in the UK, or we would have to introduce expensive mechanical or hand-pollination methods, which would drive up food prices in our country.
