§ 72. Dr. Winstanleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the total annual income available from all sources to the Health Education Council; and if he is satisfied that this will be adequate to enable the Health Education Council to combat the campaign against fluoridation of water supplies.
§ Mr. CrossmanThe council's total income for 1969–70 is expected to be about £320,000. I am informed that it proposes to devote £16,000 to education about fluoridation in addition to the cost of its own staff who are engaged in this;10W and for expenditure on research. It will consider additional expenditure according to results. This appears to me reasonable in present circumstances.
