HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 c240W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce regulations to control the levels of methyl mercury in food; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Prior

No. I accept the advice of the Pharmacology Sub-Committee that there is no need at present to set limits for the levels of mercury residues in food.
