HC Deb 11 July 1983 vol 45 c241W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list in the Official Report details of any current studies known to him in the United Kingdom on the effects of the use of the pesticide 2,4,5-T.

Mrs. Fenner

Details of relevant studies are given in the report of the advisory committee on pesticides of 13 December 1982, copies of which have been placed in the Library of the House. Further investigation is at present being carried out in the United Kingdom by the advisory committee on pesticides, the Medical Research Council and the Health and Safety Executive into the possible effects of phenoxy acid herbicides, chlorophenol and related products.
