London,Aug. 17: A senior minister in the Labour government has attacked Prince Charles for his criticism of genetically-modified crops. The Prince of Wales had claimed earlier this week that firms developing genetically-modified crops risked environmental disaster.
Environment minister Phil Woolas challenged the prince to produce the evidence to back up his claim that genetically-modified crops were linked to climate change. Prince Charles had called genetically-modified crops a "gigantic experiment with nature and the whole of humanity which has gone seriously wrong."
