Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of whether some individuals are more susceptible to electromagnetic fields than others; and what research that assessment is based on.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) advises that electromagnetic fields below recommended guideline levels do not cause symptoms and cannot be detected by people, even those who consider themselves more susceptible to electromagnetic fields. This advice is based on reviews of scientific evidence, including a review undertaken by the independent expert Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation in April 2012. The UKHSA will continue to monitor evidence as it emerges.
