§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what assessment his Department has made of the potential health risks posed by mobile phone usage; and if he will make a statement; [2723]
(2) what assessment he has made of the possible health risks connected to the use of electric blankets; and if he will make a statement. [2710]
§ Ms Jowell[pursuant to her reply 10 June 1997]: I regret that there was an error in my previous reply. The last paragraph should read as follows;
"The NRPB's advice is that there is no convincing scientific evidence of exposure to either microwave radiation associated with mobile phone usage or electro-magnetic fields associated with electric blanket usage being harmful to human health."
