The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether statistics exist on clusters of any illnesses that could be attributable to the siting of mobile telephone masts, either singly or in groups, and, if so, whether it will list the locations of such clusters.
The answer

The diseases that have received most scientific attention in this area are cancers.The Executive is not aware of the existence of any clusters of cancers or any other disease that could reasonably be attributed to the distribution of mobile phone masts in Scotland.
