HC Deb 02 July 1969 vol 786 cc85-6W
23. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will seek powers to prevent the addition of sodium fluoride to milk by farmers or distributors; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hoy

The sale by retail of milk so treated is already an offence under the Food and Drugs Act and I am not satisfied that it would be beneficial to amend the law to permit it.
