§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the comments his Department made to the Department of Health on that Department's leaflet `Mobile Phones and Health' before publication. [153257]
§ Ms Hewitt[holding answer 12 March 2001]: The Department made a number of comments on various versions of the leaflet while they were in the drafting stage. Our view was that the leaflet should explain in clear language the health advice and precautionary approach recommended by the Export Group chaired by Sir William Stewart. The text of the leaflets was discussed widely with a number of Government Departments which had an interest. The final version was agreed by all and signed off by the Chief Medical Officers.
