HC Deb 29 June 1950 vol 476 cc243-4W
Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the poisonous qualities of D.N.O.C., used for spraying grain crops, which recently resulted in the death of two men, he will issue a warning to farmers of the great need for care in handling this product.

Mr. T. Williams

My Department has been giving wide publicity to the precautions to be observed in the use of D.N.O.C. and similar substances. A new leaflet is in preparation, and the question of what further steps are desirable in the interests of safety is being actively examined in consultation with the interests concerned.
