§ Dr. Julian Lewis (New Forest, East) (Con)I have to inform the House that the number of signatories on this petition has not been verified by Tellers, but I am assured that there are 979 of them. My constituents, like those on the Isle of Wight and in neighbouring areas, are concerned about the way in which Tetra masts have been implanted on the landscape without planning permission, and about the implications of this.
Accordingly, the petition of Dibden residents declares:
That the erection of a Tetra telecommunications mast by Airwave MMO2 at Home Farm is perceived by the residents as posing a real threat to their health and is in breach of an enforcement order implemented by New Forest district council, who had already refused planning permission.The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to take immediate steps to halt the roll-out of the Tetra system until such time as it has been proved absolutely and beyond any doubt in the mind of the public that it is completely safe.
§ To lie upon the Table.
