Organophosphate Pesticides

EDM number 1182 in 1994-95, proposed by Martyn Jones on 25/05/1995.

That this House abhors the Government's abdication of responsibility towards those harmed by organophosphate (OP) pesticides; notes that OP pesticides do gradual but acute damage to the nervous system, as has been known since the 1970s, and that sheep dipping was compulsory in the United Kingdom for over 15 years; and wishes that farmers could wash their hands clean of OP pesticides as easily as this Government has washed its hands clean over their claims for compensation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
