HC Deb 31 May 1965 vol 713 cc145-6W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Health what research has been undertaken in this country into the new compound containing zirconium which is now being tested in America as a preventive of tooth decay.

Mr. K. Robinson

I do not know of any, but any scientific reports from abroad will be carefully examined. I have had no reports from America or elsewhere of such controlled clinical trials as would be necessary to evaluate this substance.
