§ Mr. David Steelasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied with the control over the sale and manufacture of products containing dichlorvos in the United Kingdom, and whether he will refer such products to the Advisory Committee on Pesticides and other Toxic Chemicals with a view to bringing the United Kingdom labelling requirements up to the standards enforced in the United States of America.
§ Mr. Peter MillsThese products have all along been subject to stringent scrutiny under the Pesticides Safety Precautions Scheme; and the prescribed labelling requirements have recently been reviewed by the Advisory Committee in the light of the corresponding provisions in the USA. My right hon. Friend accepts the Committee's conclusion that no additional safeguards are needed.
