HC Deb 27 April 1987 vol 115 c24W
Sir Richard Body

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information he has on the value of the pesticides sold to farmers for the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Donald Thompson

Information on sales of agricultural pesticides to farmers in the United Kingdom is not held by my Department. However, current indications from industry figures suggest annual sales approaching £400 million.
