asked Her Majesty's Government:
What arrangements are in place for approval by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of the contents of publications of the Crop Protection Association, a trade association of the pesticide industry, when such publications are part-funded by the department. [HL3558]
Trade associations, such as the Crop Protection Association (CPA), are free to produce their own publications without specific departmental approval, unless the department is providing funding for a specific publication which carries the department's logo or other endorsement.
