Earl Baldwin of Bewdley – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Earl Baldwin of Bewdley on 2015-12-15.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their view on the merits of reducing the concentration of fluoride in water supplies subject to fluoridation schemes from 1.0 to around 0.7 part per million, in the light of the experience of countries such as Canada, the Republic of Ireland, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Lord Prior of Brampton

Public Health England advise that there is no current evidence from monitoring data to support a variation of the target level for fluoride in drinking water.
