Nuclear Weapons: Testing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what tests her Department has carried out on (a) blood and (b) urine samples taken from people who served at UK nuclear tests between 1952 and 1991.
- Answer
-
Pursuant to the Answer I gave the hon. Member on 1 April 2019 to Question 237633, to ascertain what blood and urine tests may have been undertaken, the information sought would require the individual medical record of each of the personnel present at the UK nuclear tests to be located and reviewed. These records are not held centrally and to provide the information could only be done at disproportionate cost.
