Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food
- Question
- To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, if he will list the suppliers of genetically-modified free maize.
- Answer
-
Ms Walley: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the suppliers of genetically modified free maize. [80558] Mr. Rooker: GM maize is not grown commercially in the EU, except for a small amount in Spain and France last year all of which was used within Spain. Supplies of non-GM maize are thus widely available within Europe and a list of such suppliers is therefore unnecessary.
