The ‘Horticultural Peat: Prohibition of Sale Bill’ has its 2nd reading Friday!
Good news? Yes. This has to become a government-backed Bill so a #peat ban can be the law.
Rishi Sunak – do something 95%* of people want! Keep peat in #bogsnotbags
*Based on a GOV.UK consultation
The Isle of Man banned peat extraction in 2020, however we still import peat for horticulture and fuel. This needs to stop - please show support for this bill to ban peat sales #2024peatban #BogsNotBags This video explains why ⬇️
Dear Conservatives, please keep your promise to ban the sale of horticultural peat this year. Support Theresa Villiers' Members Bill this Friday! #BogsNotBags Rebecca Pow Rishi Sunak SteveBarclayMP

However, one year later, we have seen no progress. The UK Government has committed to introduce legislation to ban peat sales in England by the end of this Parliament – this must happen.
Thérèse Coffey, will you take action to protect our peatlands? #BogsNotBags (2/2)

1️⃣ year. 0️⃣ progress.
It's been nearly a year since the UK Government announced it would ban the sale of peat in England.
Thérèse Coffey, will you ensure that the Government follows through on its commitment to ban peat sales before the end of this Parliament?
