Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to undertakeĀ an independent assessment of the safety of asulam before the 2021 spraying season.


This question was answered on 20th February 2020

Applications to use asulam to control bracken are considered afresh each year. The assessment involves consideration of the need for use of asulam, ensuring that the use will be limited and controlled, and ensuring the protection of people and the environment. The assessment is carried out by the Health and Safety Executive with advice from the independent UK Expert Committee on Pesticides. This process will apply to any application received for the use of asulam in 2021.
