Herbicide 2,4,5-T (Hansard, 31 January 1985)

HC Deb 31 January 1985 vol 72 c279W 279W

§ Mr. Ron Davies
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information he has as to the total amount of the herbicide 2,4,5-T used in Britain in each of the last five years in which records have been kept.

§ Mr. MacGregor
The most recent survey of total amounts of the herbicide 2,4,5-T used in the United Kingdom relates to the calendar year 1979. Full details were published in the December 1980 report of the advisory committee on pesticides, a copy of which is in the Library.
A survey of pesticide usage in agriculture and horticulture — including herbicides such as 2,4,5-T — is in progress. The results will be published in due course.
