HC Deb 06 July 1959 vol 608 c98W
94. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further reports he has received on the danger to human health by poisoning and chronic oestrogenisation transmitted through pasturage, soil, and water contaminated by animals and poultry treated with synthetic hormones.

Mr. Godber

My right hon. Friend is advised by the Agricultural Research Council that the experimental evidence so far indicates that risk to human health from any of the sources mentioned by the hon. Member is unlikely, but the use of synthetic oestrogens in all its aspects is being reviewed by the Council.
