Dear Mr Holmes,

Non-Native Invasive Species

Thank you for your email of 15 December about invasive non-native species. I have been asked to reply.

Defra, the Scottish Executive and Welsh Assembly Government launched the Invasive non-native species framework strategy for Great Britain on 28th May 2008. The strategy is available to view on the Defra website at:
