HC Deb 06 December 1999 vol 340 c350W
Mr. Alan Simpson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what plans he has to use his powers to revoke any national list entries in respect of GM varieties as a result of the farm-scale GM evaluations; [99986]

(2) what estimate he has made of the compensatory payments to which maintainers of GM varieties on the national list may be entitled upon revocation of their listing after farm-scale evaluations. [99987]

Ms Quin

There are no genetically modified plant varieties on the UK National List at present, so the questions do not arise.
