Royal Society asks for £2 billion for food security

summary report (79)Chemicals Regulation Directorate 2009 Quarterly Reports
The results for the first 2 quarters (January to June) of 2009 are now published in an Excel format. They are searchable by categories including quarter, county, species and month of incident. Because these results of the enquiries made by the Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme (WIIS) are published quarterly it is possible that investigations relating to certain cases may still be ongoing and it may be necessary to limit the information published. We will publish updates to these cases as further information becomes available.
