I am happy to engage further through the officials on the pollinator issue to see if there is a wording that is acceptable to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, OPC. Prior to Report Stage we will have guidance from the OPC on our own amendments to ensure that we get the most appropriate wording. I acknowledge the importance of bees. They are often underestimated and their role is not well appreciated in some quarters. That is why we are putting a strategy in place through regulation. I would welcome any further engagement between the Stages.
