asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in 2004, the Environment Agency or the Environment Agency Wales were aware of a memorandum by the chief counsel for Monsanto of 1970 and memoranda from 1972 in which Monsanto admits shared liability with Redland Purle as to the Brofiscin site. [HL765]

The Environment Agency has not seen any memorandum by the chief counsel of Monsanto of 1970 or any memorandum from 1972 in which Monsanto admits shared liability in the information it has considered to date.
