HC Deb 10 May 1985 vol 78 c524W
Rev. Martin Smyth

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what advice he has sought or received from outside his Department as to whether vitamin E deficiency constitutes a health problem in the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Fenner

My Department is advised on such health matters by the medical advisers in the Department of Health and Social Security. Their advice is that vitamin E is present in adequate amounts in any likely diet in this country.
