41. Mobile phone technology is delivering significant benefits to the consumer and the UK economy as a whole. Validated scientific evidence supports the conclusion that neither mobile phones nor their associated base stations, if they comply with current maximum exposure guidelines as they appear to do, present a health hazard. Uncertainties, however, remain. Some scientific results, albeit unreplicated, and anecdotal evidence, underline the need for further research. The Government's own research programme falls seriously short of adequacy and is insufficient to underpin its policy decisions. We therefore call for an expanded research programme to provide for a regular review of the public health implications of mobile phone technology. The implementation of our recommendations should help to achieve this.
