§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many cases of adverse human reactions to organophosphorus sheep dip have been reported in the last two years.
§ Mr. SoamesDuring 1991, a total of 135 reports involving suspected human adverse reactions to organophosphorus sheep dips were received. For 1992, a total of 121 reports have been received up to 9 November. A significant proportion of the reports received since 1990 are historical cases where a suspected adverse reaction had occurred more than one year previously.
