HC Deb 13 March 1992 vol 205 c718W
Mr. Steen

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will ban all imports of French wine for vines in vineyards treated with Rovral produced by Rhône-Poulenc.

Mr. Maclean

I have no plans to do so.

Mr. Steen

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will place Rovral on off-label approval so that it can be used on English vines in English vineyards.

Mr. Maclean

Approval for off-label use can be given only where an application supported by adequate data has been received and evaluated. The relevant data have not been received to support such an application.
