HC Deb 17 May 1989 vol 153 c212W
Mr. Ashley

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food pursuant to his answer to the right hon. Member for Stoke-on-Trent, South,Official Report, 25 April, column 492, whether any of the maximum residue levels for pesticides are at such a level they would result in any of international acceptable daily intakes being exceeded.
