Banning toxic weedkillers could support swifts, starlings and toads in towns and cities, an MP has said ahead of a debate in Parliament.

The Green Party’s Sian Berry has proposed a public sector ban on the chemicals, which councils can currently use to destroy “undesired plants” in areas which they manage.

Ms Berry told the PA news agency that the Government had demonstrated “worrying attitudes to nature from the Government in quite a few of their policies”, but added the ban is a move that lawmakers can “genuinely do for nature to make up for that slightly”.
