Given that the Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission has recommended a debate on the subject of GM crops, and given that the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Margaret Beckett, has announced a public debate on the issue in England and Wales—that debate is about to begin—does the Executive intend to hold a public debate on the future of GM crops in Scotland? If so, when will it begin? I think that the Minister for Environment and Rural Development has already confirmed that we in Scotland will be part of the debate that Robin Harper has mentioned.
