In viow of tho Royal Commission Enquiry into the Uso of Pusticides
and Nerbicldos Incerin report, a letter wis written to the
Hinksters of Agricultura and Health, Tke uinister of Agrleelturs
replied to the effect that tho Covarnzent has coacurred wth the
raconxalations of tho Interin Report of the Royal Comdssion

all acrial soraylz;egainst adult rosquitoes will bo discontinued
in 1974, excent with vabinct pernission, ant that no aerial
spraying should be done for adult mosquitess during thia year,

The inistar pointed cut that this did not prohibit the use of
aerial spraying to control larvae. The reasea botind this was
that the most larviciding wis dons over sreas rars revered from
