§ Ms CorstonTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many representations she has received from right hon. and hon. Members about the ban on comfrey products since the ban was announced; and how many of those representations were in support of the ban.
§ Mr. SoamesThere is no ban on comfrey products generally, but those likely to contain the highest concentration of toxic alkaloids have been withdrawn from the market. Of 90 Members of this House who have raised the matter formally with my right hon. Friend, 22 have asked for these products to be reintroduced and 68 have expressed no opinion.
