About the Group
The All-Party Group is the focus within Westminster for opposition to the policy of water fluoridation. MP's and Peers meet regularly to discuss developments, and to organise meetings with Ministers and other parties.
It was a campaign of Parliamentary questioning that led to the setting up of the major scientific review of the evidence world-wide in 2000 (the 'York review'), which first exposed the weakness of the case for fluoridating public water supplies. This, with the overriding ethical objection to medicating populations who have not given their individual consent, is what underpins the Group's objection to fluoridation.
Many of the Group's position papers and responses to aspects of fluoridation can be found on this website.
