HC Deb 16 May 1973 vol 856 c344W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, in view of recent studies in the United States of America, whether he will initiate research into saccharin as a posssible danger to health.

Sir K. Joseph

Research into saccharin as a possible danger to health was initiated in the United Kingdom before the recent studies in the United States of America became public knowledge. All the data on the American studies so far available are already being carefully studied by one of my expert committees, and it will advise me in due course.
