Youngest at most risk
He said: "If there are risks - and we think that maybe there are - then the people who are going to be most affected are children, and the younger the children, the greater the danger.
"Parents have a responsibility to their children not simply to throw a mobile phone to a young child, and say 'off you go'."

Professor Lawrie Challis, who was vice chairman of the Stewart Inquiry and is now chairman of the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research programme, set up to investigate the health risks of mobile phones, told BBC News: "I would certainly not wish my own grandchildren to use mobile phones more than they had to."

Rosie Winterton, the Public Health Minister, said government guidance stressed that mobile phones should not be over-used by young children.
"Obviously there are parents who feel they want to children to have mobile phones for safety reasons, but we are quite clear that they ought to be very careful about over-use.
"There is on-going research both in the use of mobile phones and the siting of mobile phone bases."
Since the first Stewart report experts have remained divided over whether the phones pose a risk.

'Harmful'
Last year a 750-people study by Sweden's Karolinska Institute suggested using a mobile phone for 10 years or more increases the risk of ear tumours by four times.

A Dutch study has suggested mobile phone use can affect brain function, and further research from Europe indicated radiation from the phones can cause DNA damage.
