§ Baroness Turner of Camdenasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they have considered the results of Health and Safety Executive Research Report No. 74/1995 on organophosphates in sheep dip, and, if so, what action they propose to take; and
Whether the Department of the Environment and the Department of Agriculture have both considered the Institute of Occupational Health's Report for the Health and Safety Executive on organophosphates.
Lord LucasI refer the noble Baroness to the reply I gave to Lord Lyell on 17 July (Official Report, cols. WA 1 and 2). I can confirm that both the Department of the Environment and Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food have considered this report.
