§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what research he has commissioned into the possible link between heavy use of mobile phones and memory loss. [76951]
§ Mr. HuttonThe Department has funded two research projects on possible effects of radio frequency fields similar to those emitted by mobile phones. One is a behavioural study of rodents and the other is a human study involving psychological tests under simulated mobile phone use. Memory loss is a component of both these studies. Neither study has yet been published.
