§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether any recommendations have been given to the agricultural industry regarding the safe use of the chemical Gramoxone; if he is satisfied that there is no danger to the public from the use of this chemical; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WigginDetailed recommendations for the safe storage and use of this herbicide appear on the product label. Provided these precautions are observed, I am satisfied that there should be no danger to the public from its use. Additionally, the manufacturers have taken steps to introduce special stenching and colouring agents as a further safeguard in case the contents are decanted into unlabelled containers, contrary to the clear warning on the label.
