HC Deb 06 August 1980 vol 990 c144W
Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will issue a circular to local authorities in Wales on the use of 2,4,5-T in parks, gardens and highway verges and anywhere else where the public are exposed to the dangers of this pesticide.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

An advisory committee on pesticides reference document on the use of 2,4.5-T was circulated to Welsh local authorities on 20 March 1980. The need for any further advice will be considered in the light of the Government's conclusions on the advisory committee's present review.
