HC Deb 27 March 1995 vol 257 c490W
Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if lindane or gamma hexachlorocyclohexane is used in agricultural production, with particular reference to crop spraying, and if he will make a statement. [15500]

Mrs. Browning

Lindane is approved for use on a number of crops. The independent Advisory Committee on Pesticides is currently reviewing the agricultural uses of lindane. I expect the committee to report its conclusions later this year.
