Earl Baldwin of Bewdley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answers by Baroness Hayman on 8 February 1999 (WA 2) and 9 March 1999 (WA 21), when the National Diet and Nutirtion Survey of 19–64-year-olds will be completed; and whether it will include measurements of urinary fluoride. [HL52]

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath

Fieldwork for the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of adults aged 19–64 years began in July 2000, and will continue for a year until June 2001. A report of the findings is expected in early 2003. 2,000 people are expected to participate in the survey, a proportion of whom will provide a 24-hour urine collection which will enable an analysis of urinary fluoride to be made.
