§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many pesticides have been banned from use in the United Kingdom by his Department since May 1997. [99524]
§ Ms QuinPesticide products may have their approvals revoked for a number of reasons. Since May 1997,929 pesticide products involving 229 active substances have had their approvals completely revoked. The reason for the vast majority of these revocations was as a result of a commercial decision by the approval holder not to continue marketing the products in question.
