HC Deb 20 March 1997 vol 292 c723W
Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the progress in combating run off and soil erosion from fields sown to maize. [21147]

Mr. Boswell

The risk of run-off and soil erosion from fields sown to maize can be significant. In response to this the Maize Growers Association, with assistance from this Department and the Environment Agency, has produced a booklet entitled "Managing Maize", which will be sent to all known maize growers next month. A copy has been placed in the Library of the House.
