HC Deb 17 March 1981 vol 1 c74W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the scientific research projects upon which he relies for information as to the effects of fluoridation on (a) the elderly, (b) babies, (c) the sick and (d) those suffering from allergies or hypersensitivity, together with the names of the investigators concerned and the references of those reports which have been published.

Sir George Young

I am advised that there are no soundly based research projects which indicate ill-effects either in general or on any of these categories of persons from the ingestion of water at the recommended level of one part per million.
