Earl Baldwin of Bewdley (Crossbench)
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Earl Howe on 7 February 2011 (WA 18 and 19) and 10 January 2012 (WA 33) about possible changes to water fluoridation schemes in the United Kingdom, whether they have had discussions with the Government of the Republic of Ireland about why they reduced the concentration of fluoride below one part per million in their schemes; if so, what reasons were given; and what consideration they have given to those reasons.

Earl Howe (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Quality), Health; Conservative)
From contacts with Irish officials, we understand that the Republic of Ireland Government reduced the concentration because of concerns about dental fluorosis. We have no evidence to show that residents of areas receiving fluoridated water in England find dental fluorosis aesthetically unacceptable. The results of a research project funded by the National Health Service on the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis should be published shortly.
