Mr Malloch Brown

You are quoted in a 2001 article here:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/gmdebate/Story/0,2763,519728,00.html

as follows:

"Mark Malloch Brown, the agency's administrator, said recently developed new varieties of rice had 50% higher yields, matured 30-50 days earlier, were substantially richer in protein, and were far more disease and drought resistant."

What are your current views on the use of GM crops?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks & regards
Marcus Williamson
