HL Deb 23 July 1996 vol 574 c115WA
The Earl of Balfour

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Pesticides Safety Directorate has revised its framework document since its launch as an executive agency on 1st April 1993.

Lord Lucas

The Pesticides Safety Directorate (PSD) has revised its framework document with effect from 1st April 1996. The revised document, a copy of which will be placed in the Library of the House, reflects the changes and developments that have occurred since the directorate's launch as an agency three years ago. The changes will help the agency to build upon its record of success in the coming years.
