Tree Disease Biosecurity

The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST), together with the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, is organising a seminar in Parliament on 28th November to consider the highly topical issue of ‘tree disease biosecurity’. Entrance is free and open to all. Registration is required through postevents@parliament.uk.

This seminar will give Members, Peers and others the opportunity to discuss with experts:
– what will be the impacts of tree disease epidemics on urban and rural constituencies
– how an integrated approach to managing tree biosecurity could be developed
– look at developments in the recent science behind the pathology and control of tree disease
– the opportunities for reforming EU and International plant health regulatory frameworks to address future risks.

Full details are available from the POST website.
