A SPECIAL debate has been organised to discuss the GM issue in York.

The debate is open to all and will be chaired by Andrew Waller, deputy leader of City of York Council and executive member for environment and sustainability.

It will see discussion on genetically-modified (GM) substances, including food and crops.

The debate will be held at The Priory Street Centre, York, on July 15, from 7pm to 9pm. A different venue printed in earlier editions of yesterday's Evening Press was based on incorrect information supplied to the paper. For more details phone Coun Waller on 01904 337757.
