HC Deb 25 February 1991 vol 186 c371W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps are being taken to reduce the ingestion of aluminium into the human body.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

Aluminium is an abundant mineral to which all individuals receive widespread exposure from several sources. A review by the independent Committee on Toxicity in 1985 concluded that existing levels of aluminium in food were not a cause for concern. Intakes of aluminium through food continue to be monitored.
