§ Miss Richardsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in the light of the very restricted use of the herbicide 2,4,5-T permitted by the Norwegian Government and the fact that even this limited authorisation is likely to be withdrawn at the end of the current annual review and the herbicide banned altogether, his Department will again review its position on the unrestricted use of this product.
§ Mr. BishopI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to her on 22nd December 1976 and to the reply given to the hon. Member for Wallasey (Mrs. Chalker) on 16th November 1976. We shall continue to be guided by the advice of the expert committee, and are satisfied that there is no cause for anxiety provided that this product is used in the recommended way for the recommended purposes.—[Vol. 923, c.177; Vol. 919, c. 514.]
