HC Deb 29 October 1997 vol 299 cc827-8W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to his Department's letter of 24 September (POH/3/5437/14), if he has taken steeps to ascertain the background and results of Finnish research on phosphates in drinking water. [12858]

Ms Jowell

The background and results of the Finnish research have been considered. We do not believe that they have any implications for the levels of phosphorus present in United Kingdom drinking water supplies.
