HC Deb 06 May 1971 vol 816 c407W
41. Mr. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what new research the Medical Research Council intends to initiate following recent experiments into the combined effects of D.D.T. and aldrin at the Miami School of Medicine, details of which have been sent to her; and if she will make a statement.

Mrs. Thatcher

Steps are being taken to obtain full details of this work at the Miami School of Medicine, so that they may be considered by the Advisory Committee on Pesticides and Other Toxic Chemicals. The results of the Commitee's discussions will be made available to the Medical Research Council who will then decide whether further research is required.
