HC Deb 25 July 1972 vol 841 c267W
62. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his assessment of the risk to consumers and agricultural workers in the current use of the fungicides polyran and calixin against yellow rust in wheat; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Mills

There should be no risk provided all concerned observe the precautions which have been prescribed by the Advisory Committee on Pesticides and Other Toxic Chemicals, and which are prominently displayed on all containers in which these chemicals are supplied for agricultural use.
