Proposed Closure Of Centre For Ecology And Hydrology Research Laboratories (EDM1373)

Proposed Closure Of Centre For Ecology And Hydrology Research Laboratories

EDM number 1373 in 2005-06, proposed by Peter Ainsworth on 16/01/2006.

That this House notes with concern the proposal to close the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology scientific laboratories at Monk's Wood, Banchory and Winfrith; believes that their closure would severely impair the long-term monitoring and study of ecological change; further believes it would reduce the quality of independent science-based advice to Government on environmental matters, including climate change; and would dissipate the expertise of up to 200 experienced scientists; further believes that the savings expected from the closures will be more than offset by associated restructuring costs; supports the campaign by leading environmental charities to prevent the closure; applauds the work of the centres over many years; and calls on the National Environment Research Council and the Government to ensure their survival.

This motion has been signed by a total of 106 MPs.
