HC Deb 28 October 1998 vol 318 c216W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will place in the Library the correspondence between his Department and Dr. Anthony Parish of the University of East Anglia in relation to BSE and toxic reactions to pesticide/insecticide chemicals. [55541]

Mr. Rooker

It is not normal practice for the Ministry to place in the Library correspondence between this Department and a private individual and I am not prepared to set such a precedent in respect of Dr. Parish. If Dr. Parish wishes to publish his theory on the origins of BSE, he should submit it to a journal which publishes that type of material.
