The Inter-departmental Committee on Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields is concluding its considerations, based on the report of the Expert Group on Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, completed at the end of 2006. I intend to present the report to my Government colleagues shortly and then publish the report. The report will provide a review of the most up to date scientific research and international scientific consensus regarding potential health effects of electromagnetic fields, including those emitted from overhead power lines.
