HC Deb 13 June 1991 vol 192 cc669-70W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he envisages any restrictions being placed on the use of the herbicide Simazine; and whether its continued use has been considered by the appropriate European Community authorities.

Mr. Maclean

Simazine is not being considered by the European Community authorities but is under review in the United Kingdom. Any recommendations concerning the approval status on conditions of use of simazine made by the advisory committee on pesticides as a result of the review will be considered by the six Ministers responsible for pesticides.
