Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer of 28 June,Official Report, column 691, who is conducting the two studies into oestrogens in infant diets; when they were commissioned; what reports resulted from the earlier study; if they will be made available; and when they are due to produce final reports.

Mrs. Browning

The two projects are at the Dunn clinical nutrition centre, university of Cambridge and at the Institute of Food Research, Norwich. The projects respectively started in September 1994 and April 1995 and are due to report in March 1997 and March 1998.

Results from the earlier MAFF-funded project are being reported in the scientific literature with one paper already published—Am J Clin Nutr. 1994; 60; 333–340—and a second to be published later this year.
