To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the US National Toxicology Program’s Monograph on the State of the Science Concerning Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopment and Cognition: A Systematic Review, published in August 2024, and of its implications for the fluoridation of drinking water in England.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the US National Toxicology Program’s Monograph on the State of the Science Concerning Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopment and Cognition: A Systematic Review, published in August 2024, and of its implications for the fluoridation of drinking water in England.
The US National Toxicology Program conducted a systematic review of the published scientific literature on the association between fluoride exposure and neurodevelopment and cognition. It concluded that there is “moderate confidence” that levels of fluoride intake, such as those approximated to be from drinking water concentrations greater than the World Health Organization’s (WHO) drinking water Guideline Value of 1.5 milligrams per litre, were associated with lower IQ in children. The target dose for fluoridated drinking water in England is below this value, at one milligram per litre.
There is no convincing evidence for adverse health effects from exposure to fluoride in drinking water below the WHO Guideline Value or the United Kingdom’s drinking water regulatory limit of 1.5 milligrams per litre. This value is intended to be protective of health for the whole population for a lifetime of exposure. My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has a legal responsibility to monitor health impacts of fluoridated drinking water, and the next report will be published in 2026.

The Government People Group does not have any relevant model policies on species dysphoria.
There is no Cabinet Office diversity network or Cabinet Office supported network that formally recognises species dysphoria.
The Office for Equality and Opportunity is responsible for external government policy on equality and does not have a policy approach that recognises species dysphoria.

Sporting bodies have a responsibility to protect the integrity and fairness of women's sport and the safety of all participants, particularly when it is not possible to balance those factors with inclusion.
National Governing Bodies set their own policies for who can participate in their sports in domestic competitions. Our UK sports councils have produced guidance to help domestic sports bodies determine the right position for their sport. The guidance covers transgender participation in sport, and makes clear that fairness and safety cannot be balanced with inclusion in gender-affected sport.
