§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will outline the procedures undertaken for(a) a partial review and (b) a full review of pesticide active ingredients; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gummer[holding answer 29 January 1990]: A full review covers all aspects of consumer, operator, and environmental safety. A partial review addresses only those aspects that may suggest a cause for concern. In both cases experimental data will be requested and evaluated and a recommendation made to Ministers by the Advisory Committee on Pesticides.
