§ Mr. WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, pursuant to his answer of 28 April,Official Report, columns 316–20, if he will withdraw approval for the use of alphachloralose; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Hector MonroNo. The Advisory Committee on Pesticides has recently reviewed those pesticide products containing 100 per cent. alphachloralose. It concluded that the approvals for these products should continue because they fulfil an important role in rodent control and are used by local authorities and professional pest control agencies. The situation will be kept under review.
