§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what guidelines the agricultural section of his Department gives to farmers and other workers in Wales with regard to the need to use gloves when handling animal feedstuffs; and if he will make a statement. [8693]
§ Sir Paul BeresfordI have been asked to reply.
The Health and Safety Executive has not issued specific guidelines concerning the use of gloves by farmers and other workers when handling animal feedstuffs. However, suppliers of animal feedstuffs have a duty to provide information regarding precautionary measures if the feedstuffs present a health hazard to people.
