§ Dr. D. Johnsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state the amount in weight of insecticides with choline-esterase inhibitor properties which have been sold annually in Great Britain in each of the past 12 years; how many accidental deaths from insecticides with such properties have been recorded; and what record he has of murders, attempted murders or suicides resulting from such substances.
Mr. VaneInformation about the annual sales of such insecticides is not available. In 1960, the accidental death of a scrapyard worker was attributed to the residue of one of these chemicals in used containers; no other accidental 137W deaths from these substances have been recorded in Great Britain in the past 12 years. Nor is there any record of murders, attempted murders or suicides with these substances.
