§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what research is being carried out into the incidence of mycotoxins in grain fed to livestock in this country and among the principal suppliers to the United Kingdom; and whether he is satisfied that the residues from these poisons in home-produced and imported meat and dairy products do not constitute a danger to health.
§ Mr. HoyInvestigational work is proceeding at several centres in this country, and the possibility of widening it is being kept under review. We have no evidence to suggest that there is a danger to human health from grain fed to livestock but if the hon. Member has any information on the subject I will look into it.
