Comment on this
Yes. We have all been receiving e-mails on the fluoridation of water. At some stage will the Leader bring in departmental officials for a debate on the issue? As we are hearing scare stories from both sides of the argument, I would welcome a debate on it. The same is being done in many countries in which English is spoken. It would be helpful if the Minister came to the House to state what is official policy in this regard.
