Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will return blood and diagnostics tests taken after detonation to UK nuclear test veterans.

I have met with representatives of the nuclear test veteran community and am committed to continuing that engagement to consider the concerns raised, including looking into questions raised on medical records.

Nuclear test veterans can request access to their personal information held by the Ministry of Defence about their time in the military, including Service and Medical records. To do so they need to submit a Subject Access Request (SAR) under the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA).
