answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2017 answer text <p>Current Departmental guidance or regulations do not stipulate the use of a mobile phone or car thermostat. This is because the risk of heat illness is not just from still air temperature (as measured by a thermometer). Humidity and wind effects also need to be factored in to give a more accurate predictor of risk.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 28/11/2017 17:34:17 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
