Mr. Curry: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps her Department has taken to strengthen
the role of the HSE in the enforcement of laws relating to illegal import of crop protection products for use in agriculture and
horticulture. [25032]
Mr. Morley: All pesticides are subject to strict regulatory control and must be approved by Ministers before they can be marketed or
used in the UK.
The Health and Safety Executive already have extensive powers to enforce against the illegal storage or use of pesticides, including
those illegally imported into the UK. Local authorities have similar powers to take enforcement action against illegal
advertisement, sale or supply. Where evidence establishes that illegal activity has occurred enforcement action is taken.
