EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order amends the Poisons List, which has effect for the purposes of the Poisons Act 1972. The List as amended is set out in the Schedule to the Order.

The principal changes made by the Order are as follows. In Part I of the List, the entry for cyanides is restricted so as to read “Hydrogen cyanide; metal cyanides, other than ferrocyanides and ferricyanides”. In Part II of the List, there are added dinoterb and thiofanox, and two compounds of phosphorus (namely, dialifos and quinalphos). There are deleted from Part II of the List dinosam and those of its compounds specified in the List; fenaminosulf; fenazaflor; formetanate; and certain compounds of phosphorus.
