HC Deb 10 February 1982 vol 17 cc403-4W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has received representations from the farm workers' unions concerning the safety of containers of agrochemicals; and whether any recent progress has been made in improving the safety of such containers.

Mrs. Fenner

I have had no representations concerning container safety from farm workers' unions. Container design and safety is currently being reviewed by a panel set up by my Department, comprising manufacturing, agrochemical and agricultural interests.
