HC Deb 14 June 1995 vol 261 c563W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if her Department will research the practicality of introducing a fluoride sensitivity test; and if she will make a statement. [28466]

Mr. Malone

Validated methods already exist for the investigation of suspected hypersensitivity. Fluoride is a normal component of food, and there is no evidence of allergy of intolerance to fluoride as used in the fluoridation of community water supplies.
