To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the findings by Testbiotech published on 8 February which stated that genetically engineered maize 1507 exhibited “huge variations in the amounts of Bt toxin in the plants, and further shows that 1507 maize plants are neither homogenous nor predictable”;...

A proposal to authorise the planting of 1507 maize was discussed at the European Union (EU) General Affairs Council on 11 February. The UK indicated its support for authorisation, given the favourable scientific opinions of the European Food Safety Authority and the UK Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment. Variations in the level of Bt protein are to be expected and are not in themselves a cause for concern. Whilst the protein level could have a bearing on the potential for pest resistance and theoretically on the risk to non-target Lepidoptera, these considerations have been adequately addressed by the risk-management measures that will be provided for in the EU authorising decision. The herbicide glufosinate will not be used on 1507 maize crops in the EU, so its effect on Bt protein levels is not a factor in this context.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of evidence from the United States and Canada of a proliferation of weeds resistant to Roundup in fields planted with genetically modified Roundup resistant crops, whether they will permit Syngenta to market the genetically modified herbicide tolerant maize GA21; and, if so,...

A decision on the marketing of GA21 maize seed for commercial cultivation will be taken in due course at European Union (EU) level, under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. The Government will take a view on whether or not to support EU authorisation on the basis of the scientific evidence on the potential impact on human health and the environment. Ministers will receive independent expert advice on this from the Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment.
If GA21 maize were to receive EU clearance under the GM-related controls, it could not be grown in the UK in association with Roundup herbicide unless that specific use of Roundup is permitted under the legislation on plant protection products. As yet no application has been made for authorisation to use Roundup on GA21.
Authorisation holders for plant protection products are required to report any information relating to the development of resistance, and in the UK we have a Weed Resistance Action Group which is producing practical guidelines for resistance management and monitoring new developments in resistance. The Chemicals Regulation Directorate of the Health and Safety Executive also commissions research on this topic.
To ask Her Majesty's Government which repeat feeding experiments they have commissioned for assessing the findings of Pusztai and Ewen relating to genetically modified potatoes, Emarkova relating to genetically modified soy, and Velemirov relating to genetically modified maize.

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they voted in favour of authorising the three genetically modified maize varieties MON863xMON810, MON863xNK603 and MON863xMON810xNK603 in the Council of Ministers; and whether they consulted the competent authorities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland prior to the vote.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the research data submitted in the Renessen dossiers for high lysine maize LY038xMON810 (EFSA-GMO-NL-2006-31 and 32) which were shown by other European Union national advisory committees in 2009 to have been defective.
