Default Proposed re-licensing of aminopyralid

Some of you may not be aware that it has been proposed to relicense the herbicide "aminopyralid", which has been the cause of most cases of contaminated manure.
There is a petition to the PM, which closes on the 23rd Oct 2009, to try and prevent this happening at Petition to: refuse to reinstate Aminopyralid as a weed killer in Britain. | Number10.gov.uk

If you have not signed the petition so far, can I suggest that you take the time to do so now, to prevent others being adversely affected by contaminated manure. Once you have sent off your petition, remember that you should get a confirmation e-mail, in which you have to click on the link, to finally register your petition.

Two MPs have tabled Early Day Motions re the licensing of AP.

and Paul Burstow

You can help by urging your MP to support one or both motions.
