HC Deb 11 July 1960 vol 626 c74W
68. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the use of synthetic oestrogens and antibiotics as additions to animal feedingstuffs; and what action he is taking.

Mr. Hare

The Agricultural Research Council is at present reviewing the dangers to human or animal health of feeding synthetic oestrogens and antibiotics to livestock. I propose to await the result of these reviews before considering what further action I should take in these matters.
