Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when Natural England’s Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme will resume.


This question was answered on 2nd July 2020

Natural England (NE) runs the Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme (WIIS) in England. WIIS makes enquiries into reports of the death or illness of wildlife, pets and beneficial invertebrates that may have resulted from pesticide poisoning.

WIIS has continued to operate in England. Routine WIIS field work was suspended in late March in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, NE has continued to deal with reported cases through desk-based investigations supported by the police and other local agents. NE will recommence field visits when this can be done safely.
