Mr. Baker
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy to require segregation of genetically modified crops from other crops imported into the United Kingdom under the WTO rules relating to the right to protect human health and the application of the precautionary principle.[78255]
Mr. Rooker
All genetically modified (GM) crops which are permitted to be imported into the UK have been approved following a rigorous assessment of their safety. It is therefore not possible to require segregation under WTO rules.
