HC Deb 08 December 1997 vol 302 c456W
Mr. Ian Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what discussions he has had with the mobile phone industry as to whether a health and safety warning is needed on all handsets; [19127]

(2) what discussions he has had with the National Radiological Protection Board about potential health risks from use of mobile phones. [19130]

Ms Jowell

The Department regularly discusses advice on the health implications of exposure to electromagnetic fields, including mobile phone frequencies, with the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB). NRPB's view is that mobile phones currently used in the United Kingdom comply with the recommended exposure limit. The Department has had no discussions concerning health and safety warnings with the mobile phone industry.
