HC Deb 21 October 1991 vol 196 c415W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will require manufacturers of pesticides to publish the data upon which field tests have been based.

Mr. Maclean

Companies are required to submit a wide range of studies including field studies in support of their applications for statutory approval for pesticides. This material forms the basis of an evaluation which is considered by the independent Advisory Committee on Pesticides. The data underlying the published evaluation are available for public scrutiny on application to the registration authorities.
