§ 42. Mr. John Hallasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the further progress report on the fluoridation experiment done in Anglesey, Kilmarnock, Watford and Andover in 1955 and 1956 will be published before the end of this year.
§ Mr. EnnalsWe expect to publish the report early in the New Year.
§ Mr. HallThe Minister told me on 13th February last that a report would be published "before long". Would he agree that that would seem to indicate to an ordinary person that it would be published within, say, a few months? What has caused the delay?
§ Mr. EnnalsThe statistical work is now complete and is being considered by the Fluoridisation Research Committee. There will be no avoidable delay. I could not anticipate the results, which will be published very soon.
