HC Deb 19 February 1987 vol 110 cc790-1W
73. Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further plans he has to monitor, review and report on toxic residues in agricultural produce in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Donald Thompson

My Department conducts a continuing programme of monitoring for toxic residues in agricultural produce under the auspices of the steering group on food surveillance. The programmes of its relevant working parties are regularly reviewed to take into account current issues. The results of this programme are assessed by independent advisory committees and regularly published in reports of the steering group on food surveillance.
