Compensation To The Victims Of South Pacific Nuclear Tests (EDM2142)

Compensation To The Victims Of South Pacific Nuclear Tests

EDM number 2142 in 2005-06, proposed by Keith Vaz on 11/05/2006.

That this House calls on the Ministry of Defence to provide fair compensation and a full apology to service veterans who were deliberately exposed to dangerous levels of radiation during a series of British nuclear tests in South Pacific during the 1950s and 1960s; notes new research carried out by Dr Al Rowland of Massey University, New Zealand, which provides further strong evidence of linkage between exposure to nuclear tests and medical conditions which developed later; and further notes that these veterans and their children have suffered from appalling medical conditions directly related to radiation poisoning over the past 50 years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
