HC Deb 22 January 1979 vol 961 cc22-3W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will commission urgent research into the effects of oil on animals such as sheep and the provision of antidotes.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

My right hon. Friend has no such intention at present, but the need for such research will be considered in the review currently being carried out by my Department of the relevant commissions placed with agricultural research institutes in Scotland.
