HL Deb 08 June 1999 vol 601 cc151-2WA
The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will list all the active and inert ingredients in the pesticides Actellic D and Actellic Dust. [HL2706]

Lord Donoughue

The active ingredient in both Actellic D and Actellic Dust is pirimiphos-methyl. Actellic D is an emulsifiable concentrate containing 250 grams per litre pirimiphos-methyl, and Actellic Dust (now Actellic 2% Dust) is a dustable powder containing 2 per cent. weight by weight pirimiphos-methyl. I regret that, for reasons of commercial confidentiality, it is not possible to disclose details of the formulation specification and composition of individual pesticide products.
