HC Deb 05 April 1990 vol 170 c784W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has concerning the toxicity of pesticides in combination; and what plans he has for further research.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

I am aware of the research that has been carried out on this subject by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, in conjunction with Reading university. A proposal that the Department should fund further work in this area is currently under consideration by my Department.
