HC Deb 26 May 1989 vol 153 cc805-6W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has carried out tests to establish whether hepatitis A can be killed by irradiation at the 10 kgy level; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ryder

No tests have been carried out on this specific subject. Other treatments are effective in eliminating hepatitis A.
