HC Deb 11 March 1963 vol 673 c107W
Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science whether all marketed pesticides are studied by the Medical Research Council.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

Under the voluntary Notification of Pesticides Scheme all new toxic chemicals are, before marketing, notified to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for clearance by the Government's Advisory Committee on Poisonous Substances used in Agriculture and Food Storage; the Medical Research Council is represented on this Committee.
