Will see what changes they'll make to the legislation, don't think they've had the time to make changes to the inherited EU laws on pesticides but the farming lobby is making a lot of noise. They allowed emergency authorisation but apparently it was never enacted. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/neonicotinoid-product-as-seed-treatment-for-sugar-beet-emergency-authorisation-application/statement-on-the-decision-to-issue-with-strict-conditions-emergency-authorisation-to-use-a-product-containing-a-neonicotinoid-to-treat-sugar-beet
