§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he plans to grant any more applications for provisional seed certification under the non-statutory seed certification scheme. [81263]
§ Mr. Rooker[holding answer 19 April 1999]A number of applications in England and Wales for provisional seed certification under the non-statutory seed certification scheme are being processed through the current growing season. However, the Government will come forward quickly with proposals to amend secondary seeds legislation before the next round of applications are made. If these measures are adopted, there would be no need for the non-statutory scheme to continue.
