HC Deb 28 November 1984 vol 68 cc533-4W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects the investigation being conducted by the Medical Research Council into the findings of the report by Japanese researchers on fluoridation to be completed.

Mr. John Patten

The investigation by the Medical Research Council is part of a programme of research which has been commissioned by the Department. Some of the work has been completed and we anticipate that most of the remaining results will be available early in the new year.
