HC Deb 21 May 1986 vol 98 c220W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish an up-to-date list of all horticultural products freely purchasable that contain 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D, with the percentage by weight of each chemical in each product.

Mrs. Fenner

There are 147 products containing either 2,4,5-T or 2,4-D currently cleared under the pesticides safety precautions scheme for use in agriculture and horticulture. These are listed in the publication "Pesticides Safety Precautions Scheme 1986," and I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Library of the House. The percentage by weight of each chemical in each product could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
