HC Deb 14 February 2001 vol 363 cc140-1W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer of 10 January 2001,Official Report, column 562W, on GM crops, if the Government definition of GM agriculture is restricted to commercial agricultural activities. [147885]

Mr. Nick Brown

[holding answer 30 January 2001]: Any assessment of the impact of GM agriculture on farmland values, which was the subject of the hon. Member's previous question, would need to consider the impact of commercial cultivation. Only limited GM crop trials are currently taking place in the UK.
