Corrections to Committee's report, GM Planting Regime
On 30 June, the Committee published a report into the GM planting regime (Eleventh Report, HC (2003-04) 607). On page 19, ev 75 and ev 78 there are references to the "National Farmers' Union (Scotland)"; these should instead read "NFU Scotland". On ev 76 there is reference to "separation distances of more than 200 million"; the NFU Scotland in fact referred to "separation distances of more than 200 metres". The report should be read in the context of these corrections.
