HC Deb 19 April 1991 vol 189 cc284-5W
Mr. Butterfill

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the benefit accruing from the annual grant made to the British Fluoridation Society.

Mr. Dorrell

The British Fluoridation Society receives a grant under section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 for its work in providing support by means of information, advice, materials and other assistance to regional health authorities considering the implementation of water fluoridation in their areas. We are satisfied that the grant represents good value for money.
