Lindane And Breast Cancer

EDM number 1351 in 1997-98, proposed by Alice Mahon on 19/05/1998.

That this House draws attention to the ever-growing campaign to ban lindane; acknowledges that lindane, an organochlorine pesticide, is still used in the United Kingdom despite being banned in many European and other countries because of its link with breast cancer; and calls upon the Government to investigate further the use of lindane with a view to banning it as soon as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
