HL Deb 04 May 1999 vol 600 cc83-4WA
Lord Swinfen

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Donoughue on 21 April (WA 163), upon what independent research was that Answer based; who funded that research; and whether they will list the titles of the research papers, their authors and the organisations for which the research was undertaken. [HL2159]

Lord Donoughue

The reply I gave to the noble Lord on 21 April(WA 163) reflected the view expressed by the Royal Society in its recent review, Genetically Modified Plants for Food Use. The Ministry is funding several research projects on this issue and will publish their results when completed in the normal way.
