HC Deb 20 July 2001 vol 372 c732W
Mr. Alan Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes discussed the Aventis study entitled "The Effect of Glufosinate-Resistant Corn on the Growth of Male Broiler Chickens"; and if he will place the minutes of this meeting in the Library. [5654]

Yvette Cooper

The chicken study was not part of the package considered by the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes.

The study was part of the dossier submitted to the French competent authority in support of an application to market glufosinate tolerant maize. The study has recently been considered by the Advisory Committee on Animal Feedingstuffs who are currently finalising their comments.
