§ Sir Cranley OnslowTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ensure that farmers and landowners in Scotland are made aware of the dangers to the environment involved in the use of sheep dips based on synthetic pyrethroids. [13771]
§ Mr. Raymond S. RobertsonI have nothing further to add to the reply I offered my hon. Friend on 25 November 1996. The Scottish code of good practice for the prevention of environmental pollution from agricultural activity is currently being revised by the Scottish agricultural pollution group. We have drawn my hon. Friend's concern to the attention of that group.
