Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

My Lords, I challenge the noble Lord. I do not believe that local authorities arrange for dental X-rays. I believe that the advice that was given by the Department of Health was that X-rays should not be used for this purpose and that local authorities are all awaiting the outcome of the consultations, which include mention of the process. They would not jump the gun by X-raying children now.
