HC Deb 23 May 1969 vol 784 c145W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representation he intends to give to weights and measures inspectors and other officers engaged in the collection of pesticide residues in foodstuffs when he extends the membership of his new panel for the collection of residues data.

Mr. Hoy

The Association of Public Analysts has a representative on the new panel. He will form the link between the panel and food and drugs authorities. Appropriate officers of these authorities will be asked to co-operate as necessary in any residues surveys initiated by the panel.

No extension of the new panel is envisaged at present.
