Mr. Keetch: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what financial support was given to UK veterans attending memorials in North
Africa for the 60th anniversary of the battle of El Alamein; and if he will make a statement. [87037]
Dr. Moonie: The Ministry of Defence provided support to the Eighth Army Veterans' Association (EAVA) to commemorate the battle and a
service of thanksgiving was held in Westminster Abbey on 30 October; the MOD organised and funded the service. Two other events were
also supported by the Department: a Commonwealth service to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the battle (held at the Commonwealth
War Cemetery, El Alamein) and an international service (at the Italian War Memorial, near El Alamein). No financial assistance was
given to veterans to visit Egypt.

Llew Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many former British service people and military medical auxiliaries have
been identified from (a) research conducted by or on behalf of his Department and (b) medical statistical data compiled by the
former medical division of the Department of Social Security as suffering from the conditions (i) duodenitis and (ii) duodenal ulcer
associated with or caused by exposure to irradiation from British atmospheric nuclear tests. [87581]
Dr. Moonie: No specific analysis of the incidence of these medical conditions among those who participated in the British
atmospheric nuclear tests has been carried out on behalf of the Ministry of Defence. In the 1993, National Radiological Protection
Board report NRPB- R266, entitled "Mortality and Cancer Incidence 1952-1990 in UK Participants in the UK Atmospheric Nuclear Weapon
Tests and Experimental Programmes", deaths from duodenal ulcer and duodenitis were included in the category, "other diseases of the
digestive system", and are shown in Table 6.10 of the report. The table shows a total of 46 deaths in this category in the cohort of
test participants up to the end of 1990.
No medical statistical data have been compiled by the former medical division of the Department of Social Security of nuclear test
veterans suffering from these conditions associated with, or caused by, exposure to irradiation from British atmospheric nuclear
tests.

Mr. Breed: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what measures he has put in place for tracing and monitoring armed forces
personnel who served between 1950 and 1965 and were involved in nuclear tests in the South Pacific during this period; how many of
these servicemen have been traced; what proportion this represents; and if he will make a statement. [86308]
Dr. Moonie: [holding answer 10 December 2002]: As is well known, the National Radiological Protection Board conducted two studies,
reported in 1988 and 1993, which assessed incidences of cancers and mortality rates in test participants and a closely matched
control group. The results of the third study are expected in 2003. At the outset, some 22,000 personnel were identified as
participants from service and other records representing about 85 per cent. of those believed to have participated in the United
Kingdom nuclear testing programme.

Mr. Brady: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what records his Department maintains of individuals receiving a gratuity in
respect of invalidity, on leaving HM armed forces, from 1941 to the present; and whether he has a record of a gratuity in respect of
invalidity being paid to Mr. Jack Palfrey Wakefield, date of birth 24 September 1916, army serial number 1895475, formerly resident
in Crewe. [85667]
Dr. Moonie: For members of the armed forces who have been invalided from service, records relating to consideration of entitlement
to war pensions have been held on these cases by the Veterans Agency and its predecessors since prior to 1941. No war pensions files
were destroyed until 1989 when a retention and destruction exercise was carried out. The criteria were that files were to be
destroyed where no action had been taken on the case for more than 30 years, no pension was in payment and the claimant was over the
age of 80.
Under the Armed Forces Pension Scheme, records containing details of invaliding gratuities paid are held by all three services for
personnel who left between 1941 and the present day. How long these records are retained for depends on when the person left the
armed forces. In general, the following applies:
Left service between 1941-72:
Where the pensioner dies and there is no widow/er or other dependant, the records would be destroyed after seven years for Royal
Navy (RN) and Army personnel and after three years for RAF personnel. If not informed of this, records would be kept for 100 years
from the date of the service member's birth for all three services. If there were a surviving widow/er, records would be destroyed
some two to three years after the death of the spouse of RN and RAF personnel and seven years after the death of the spouse of Army
personnel.
Left service between 1973-present:
Across all three services, records are retained for 100 years from the date of the service person's birth.
Records are held relating to both Mr. Wakefield's entitlement to war disablement pension and to his armed forces pension. However,
information from these records cannot be supplied as disclosure of personal information is prohibited under Schedule 2 of the Data
Protection Act 1998.
