MOBILE PHONE MAST APPLICATIONS

That this House notes with considerable concern that communities up and down the United Kingdom are becoming bombarded with mobile phone mast applications, often repeatedly so; further notes that the 10 point guidance by the industry to regulate and regularise such applications is more honoured in the breach than the observance; further notes that it is now almost five years since the Stewart Report dealt with health-related issues and, because concerns are increasing and scientific understanding has moved on and the output of such masts have increased, calls upon the Government urgently to look again at planning guidance in relation to mast applications and to recall the Stewart Committee in order that health aspects of mast applications can be reassessed.
