HC Deb 20 February 1986 vol 92 c269W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which countries have imposed restrictions on the importation of paraquat from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Alan Clark

Such information is not collected comprehensively, but the only instance known to me where the importation of paraquat is restricted is Finland.

Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will impose new safety conditions under which paraquat is exported to Third world countries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
