Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence during the debate on Nuclear Test Veterans: Medical Records of 28 November 2023, Official Report, column 245WH, when his Department plans to examine the 150 Atomic Weapons Establishment files.

I have asked officials to review the 150 items and provide them to me. I will then personally assess them and consider their release into the public domain, as I committed to do during the debate on Nuclear Test Veterans: Medical Records on 28 November (Official Report, column 245WH).
