HC Deb 26 July 1977 vol 936 cc193-4W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why Moretti ryegrass was taken off the approved list of varieties.

Mr. Strang

The ryegrass variety Moretti has not been deleted from the national list of varieties, and seed of the variety may continue to be marketed in the United Kingdom. I presume that the reference to "approved list" is to the Recommended List issued by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany for which the Council of the Institute is solely responsible.
