Veterans: Radiation Exposure
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to honour veterans affected by nuclear tests in Britain.
- Answer
-
The Government continues to be grateful to veterans who participated in the Nuclear Test Programme. The recent review by the independent Advisory Military Sub-Committee into the case for medallic recognition concluded it did not meet the level of risk and rigour generally required for the award of a campaign medal. This in no way diminishes the contribution of veterans.
