§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a study of the problem of residues, brought about by the use of acaracides in the treatment of honey bees, in imported and home-produced honey, and the related effect of herbicides.
§ Mr. MacleanSupplies of imported and home-produced honey are sampled for analysis for the presence of the antimicrobial compound fumagillin and for various pesticides. We have no plans at present to extend this testing to include acaracides and herbicides but will keep the situation under review.
