HC Deb 02 December 1963 vol 685 cc127-8W
64. Mr. Longden

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has yet received, a further opinion from the Advisory Committee on Poisonous Substances used in Agri- culture and Food Storage on the effect of the use of pesticides on human and on wild life; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Soames

Not yet, but I am hoping that the Committee may be able to complete their review of the chlorinated hydrocarbons fairly early in the New Year. I propose to publish the Committee's report and to make a statement on it at that time.
