HC Deb 11 February 1999 vol 325 c415W
Mr. Alan Simpson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what evidence he has obtained which raises concerns about adverse human or environmental health implications from the introduction of genetically modified organisms into the food chain. [70047]

Mr. Rooker

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are only approved for food use after a rigorous safety assessment. Consequently I am not aware of any such evidence for GMOs that have been approved for use in the food chain.
