Among the health topics investigated is whether adverse effects can occur in relation to reproduction and development.</p><p>Public Health England (PHE) has published a webpage about exposure to the radio waves from mobile phone base stations, including those for 5G networks, at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health/mobile-phone-base-stations-radio-waves-and-health</a></p><p>Based on the accumulated evidence and reviews, PHE advises that the guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) should be adopted and there is no convincing evidence that radio wave exposures below the ICNIRP guideline levels cause adverse health effects. This includes effects in relation to reproduction and development.</p><p>PHE has committed to keeping the emerging evidence under review and to preparing another comprehensive review when sufficient new evidence has accumulated.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 30/05/2019 10:39:58 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

The Department is commissioning a review of the methodology for Flue Gas Heat Recovery Systems. Pending the outcome of the review, we intend to change the label to state “The SAP FGHRS methodology is currently being reviewed. This entry may change.” This label is necessary to keep all users of the database appropriately informed as they may base important decisions on the database.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 15/07/2019 13:30:46 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

However, should wider policies not deliver the government’s waste ambitions, government will consider the introduction of such a tax, in conjunction with landfill tax, taking account of the possible impacts on local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 16/07/2019 15:59:51 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
