Lord Gardiner of Kimble
My Lords, that is why I am again very pleased that science is helping us with ash dieback. We now have an archive of tolerant ash trees so that we can bring forward successors that will be tolerant to ash dieback. We are emphatic that we must protect the United Kingdom.
Lord Mann (Non-Afl) [V]
Do we anticipate a shortage of lavender or rosemary in the next few years?
Lord Gardiner of Kimble
My Lords, that is why we are improving Grown in Britain and working with nurseries. Yes, we want to have trade but it needs to be safe. That is why we are working with the industry, because we think that there are alternatives.
