§ Mr. Bowdenasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if any contract has been considered or agreed for the supply of fluoride with the Rio Tinto Zinc Corporation to be used for water fluoridation.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI have been asked to reply.
The procurement of fluoride for water fluoridation is a matter for the individual statutory water undertakers, and I have no knowledge of the arrangements they make for this purpose.
