§ 78. Mr. H. Hyndasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will arrange for the water industry to be represented on the group to examine the use of toxic sprays in agriculture, in view of the effect of such substances on water resources.
§ Mr. HareThis group, the membership of which was announced in reply to a Question from the hon. Member for Bethnal Green (Mr. Holman) on 18th February, is composed entirely of scientists, who do not represent any particular interest. It would not therefore be appropriate for an industry or organisation to be represented on the group. One of the questions the group will be considering will certainly be the possible effect on water supplies and the need for further research.
