For the attention of Sir Christopher John Bryant MP Minister of State for Data Protection and Telecoms

Dear Sir Christopher John Bryant MP

The EM Radiation Research Trust question the use of £500 million taxpayer funds for phone masts throughout the UK.

The EM Radiation Research Trust are concerned to hear that the taxpayer is now funding a government scheme to install phone masts to boost signals throughout the UK including ‘non-spots’, the countryside, Areas of Outstanding National Beauty and National Parks leaving no place left to escape for those who do not wish to be exposed to non-ionizing radiation and for those who suffer with electrosensitivity.

The UK Government is investing around 500 Million into the ‘Shared Rural Network’, including £184 million to upgrade Extended Area Service (EAS) masts to provide coverage for all four mobile operators. The remaining funding will go towards eliminating ‘non spots’, places with no coverage. On 30th January, a taxpayer-funded mast was turned on as part of the Extended Area Service government scheme.

Has the UK Government received informed public consent to use taxpayer funds to expose men, woman, children, wildlife, and the environment to artificial Electromagnetic Radiation? Can you please provide details for the Public Consultations along with environmental impact reports preceding the roll-out of this £500 million government scheme?

The EM Radiation Research Trust call on you and your colleagues to protect the Human Rights of the public enshrined in UN Law and especially the rights of our children. We call on you to read the International Declaration on the Human Rights of Children in the Digital Age. This Declaration calls for protection of children from involuntary exposure to non-ionizing radiation.

We would also like to draw your attention to a new peer-reviewed scientific report published on 30th January 2025 in Heliyon authored by Paul Heroux.
