§ Mr. Andrew F. BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what studies his Department has undertaken to determine the effects of electromagnetic radiation at extremely low frequencies on human health;
(2) what studies his Department has undertaken to determine the effects of electromagnetic radiation at extremely low frequencies on plant life;
(3) what studies his Department has undertaken to determine the effects of electromagnetic radiation at extremely low frequencies on animal life;
(4) what information he has regarding the effects of extremely low frequency electric and magnetic radiation on plant, animal and human life.
§ Mr. SainsburyLong-term studies of the effects of ELF and power line frequencies have produced no evidence to suggest that there are adverse public health effects or adverse effects on plants and animals. The fields that would be produced by the proposed system are several orders of magnitude less than the National Radiological Protection Board's reference level figures for the protection of persons.
