Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on National Pollinator Strategy.
National Pollinator Strategy
The hon. Gentleman is indicating only how much older he is than I am, and also perhaps that he had more of a penchant for things that my mother certainly would not have allowed me. I was not in any way allowed half a gallon of Somerset cider; half a pint of carrot juice was more like it.
As the insects have disappeared, so have the birds. As the insects continue to disappear, so will the yield from our crops.
