PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(4 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has met the nuclear test veteran campaign group.

Asked by:
Lee Anderson (Reform UK)

Answer

The Government is deeply grateful to all those who participated in the UK nuclear testing programme. We recognise their Service and the huge contribution they have made to the UK’s security.

This is why I have already met with both Parliamentarians and representatives from the nuclear test veteran community to discuss a range of topics relating to their experiences and the challenges they face. These efforts have resulted in us expanding the criteria for the commemorative Nuclear Test Medal. Further engagement is already planned before the end of the year. I have also asked officials to continue to regularly meet with Nuclear Test Veteran groups.
