UK and transparency
October 29, 2004 The last Sky News reported that the Ministry of Health of the United Kingdom would have kept it hidden for three years a study that relates the lines electricity transmission and childhood leukemia. Children under 15 years living within 100 meters from these lines were subjected to double the risk of contracting leukemia.
In an interview published October 30, 2004
the newspaper the 'Independent' dr. Gerald Draper of the Childhood Cancer Research Group at Oxford University, has denied that it had suppressed the results of his study that examined 35,000 cases of childhood leukemia between 1962 and 1995.
Drapped admitted that he had presented his preliminary findings at a conference
"private" 18 months ago. He added that at the time the study results were "confused".
