HC Deb 02 July 1998 vol 315 c254W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate the likely percentage of crops to be grown in Wales in 2008, which will be genetically modified; and if he will make a statement. [47913]

Mr. Win Griffiths

There is no basis for making such an estimate as it is unlikely that commercially grown genetically modified crops will be harvested in the UK before next year. The Government will continue to monitor the situation.
