Earl Baldwin of Bewdley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Hayman on 8 February (WA 1–2), how they reconcile the statement that there is "no evidence of allergy or intolerance to fluoride as used in the fluoridation of community water supplies" with the findings of the research review by Bruce Spittle MD, published in Fluoride Vol. 26 No. 4 267–273, 1993. [HL1965]

Baroness Hayman

We have full confidence in the judgment of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology and its American counterpart which have had access to the same research studies as are quoted in the New Zealand review.
