The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether there has been further research into the potential health risks posed by mobile phone masts since publication of the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones report in 2000.
The answer
The main programme of research on mobile phone technologies in the UK since 2000 has been that conducted under Phase 1 of the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme (MTHR), which published its first report in 2007. The general conclusion of these studies was that mobile phone technologies were not found to be associated with any biological or adverse health effects. Phase II of this research programme is now underway, and this includes a funding contribution from the Scottish Government.
