Veterans: Radiation Exposure
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 38 of the report of the Director of the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment on Operation Hurricane, ref AWRE-T1/54, what records his Department holds on urine samples taken from servicemen present at the UK atomic weapons tests in the 1950s.
- Answer
-
Any records that exist of blood or urine samples taken at the UK atomic weapon tests may be retained in the serviceman's record which if held could be at either the Government's or Ministry of Defence's archive. These medical records are unlikely to be collated in a form related to samples or incidences.
