Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will instruct 211W the Advisory Committee on Pesticides to publish the nature and findings of any studies it carries out on pesticides.
Mrs. FennerThe committee has published a number of such studies since 1964, at the request of successive Governments.
Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) when the Advisory Committee on Pesticides will next publish an annual report;
(2) whether he will review the arrangements whereby information supplied by industry to the Advisory Committee on Pesticides is treated as confidential.
Mrs. FennerThese matters are under consideration, in the context of the Government's response to the seventh report of the Royal Commission on environmental pollution.
