HC Deb 22 May 1997 vol 294 c177W
Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Helath what estimate he has made of the number of babies born in any given year who are allergic to lactose; and what percentage of the total number of babies born this figure represents. [1108]

Ms Jowell

We have made no estimate of the number of babies or children who are intolerant to lactose, nor are we aware of any such estimate having been made by any outside organisation.
