§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Health, in view of Her Majesty's Stationery Office's Report on Fluorosis in Cattle, what investigations he has undertaken or proposes to undertake into the effects of atmospheric pollution on humans in the affected areas of Yorkshire, Bedfordshire and Staffordshire; and what guidance he is giving to medical officers of health in this connection.
§ Sir B. StrossI am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy of a letter from my right hon. Friend's Chief Medical Officer to Medical Officers of Health. This contains an account of investigations into the probable fluoride intake of humans in these areas and a reassurance that there is no effective risk to them of fluorosis.
