Genetically Modified Crops And Resistance To Herbicides (EDM376)

Genetically Modified Crops And Resistance To Herbicides

EDM number 376 in 2003-04, proposed by Mike Weir on 08/01/2004.

That this House is concerned at the results of research carried out by Dr Charles Benbrook on figures provided by the United States Department of Agriculture which demonstrates that far from requiring fewer herbicides some genetically modified crops require even greater amounts in later years; and believes that this demonstrates that genetically modified crops should not be licenced for use in the UK until such time as long-term trials have been carried out to demonstrate they pose no threat to the environment and that the current one year trials do not give sufficient information to base a decision on the future of such crops.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
