HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 c585W
Mr. John Carlisle

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when, pursuant to the reply to the hon. Member for Luton, North of 27 January, he expects to make an announcement regarding the release of stocks of the pea seed Belinda that are free of pea bacterial blight.

Mrs. Fenner

On the basis of scientific tests on samples of these stocks, I cannot regard the pea seed held under statutory notice as free from pea bacterial blight. As to an announcement, I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 27 January at column406.
