HC Deb 18 April 1972 vol 835 cc43-4W
26. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will seek powers to control the use in poultry litter of wood shavings from timber treated with chlorophenols; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Mills

My right hon. Friend is aware of the Agricultural Research Council's recent report on this matter and is seeking advice on any possible hazards. In the meantime he does not intend to introduce controls.
