HL Deb 21 April 1989 vol 506 c1052WA
Lord Monk Bretton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What conclusions they have reached about recommendations in the report on the plant variety testing and seed certification systems in the United Kingdom issued in April 1988.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Baroness Trumpington)

My right honourable friends and I have examined the recommendations in the light of the views expressed by individuals and organisations. We have decided that work on implementing the majority of the recommendations should now proceed and that few should be deferred. I am placing a document in the Library of the House giving details of what the Government have decided on each recommendation.
