I refer the hon. Member to the answer my predecessor gave on 28 April 2026. The records exercise is nearing completion, and I shall update the House in due course.
In parallel, as part of wider work, the number of historic nuclear testing records that are now publicly accessible having been transferred to the National Archives from the Merlin database is over 28,000.
