UK - Southampton - Free council vote on fluoridation

Free council vote on fluoridation
THE letter from Mr J H Pain (October 24) oh fluoridation was very misleading.
The 'Conservative' city council did not vote in favour.
The city council held a 'free' vote, no 'whipping', and some of the members from all parties voted in favour and some of the members from all parties voted against. If Mr Pain
insists on politicising a non-political issue may I remind him that the city council was merely a consultee and that the decision was made by the unelected Strategic Health Authority under the Labour Government.
COUNCILLOR ALEC SAMUELS, leader of Southampton City Council.
