Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions has he had with Ofcom on the effect of its proposal to require all licensees under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 to (a) comply with the relevant levels from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Guidelines and (b) keep records (including the results of any measurements, tests and calculations) that demonstrate how they have complied with those guidelines.

The application and administration of licence conditions are a matter for Ofcom. Ofcom engages with a wide range of stakeholders, including the UK and devolved administrations, on a regular basis.

Ofcom’s public consultation on ‘Proposed measures to require compliance with international guidelines for limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields’ closed on 12 June. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-1/limiting-exposure-to-emf
