Non-Native Invasive Species
Andrew George
2009-12-08
That this House is concerned that the annual cost to the economy of non-native invasive species such as Japanese knotweed, Himalayan balsam and Hottentot fig is in excess of two billion pounds; notes that the most cost-effective and least environmentally-damaging approach to solving the problems caused by non-native invasive species is through prevention, rapid response and early intervention; recognises that non-native invasive species have the ability to cause damage to the environment, the economy, our health and the way we live; further notes that the Invasive Non-Native Species Framework Strategy for Great Britain calls for a rapid response system to be created and preventative approach adopted; expresses regret that sufficiently robust controls to prevent the arrival of species known to already be causing damage elsewhere are not in place; expresses further regret that there is no statutory obligation for statutory bodies to enact a rapid response system and no designated resources have been declared for prevention and rapid response; and calls on the Government to designate responsibility and resources so that such systems can be implemented.
