HC Deb 08 March 1989 vol 148 cc531-2W
Mrs. Wise

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give details of permitted treatments of potatoes in store or pre-storage and their purposes, including any intended to prevent or discourage spoilage by rats.

advisers are unpaid; four are on secondment terms from the private sector and their previous employers are reimbursed for their services. The same salary spine is used by all Departments. It is not our practice to reveal the spine position of any adviser as it is negotiated individually in relation to previous earnings and is therefore confidential.
