HC Deb 06 December 1985 vol 88 c383W
Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will outline the extent, geographical location and ownership of sites in Scotland on which there has been aerial application of the herbicide glyphosate (Nphosphonomethyl glycine) during 1985 and the litre per hectare concentration applied on each occasion.

Mr. John MacKay

Only one application for limited—clearance under the pesticides safety precaution scheme for aerial spraying wih glyphosate has been granted in Scotland during 1985. It was in respect of a small area of forest and in the event the approved spraying has not been undertaken.
