Woomera Christmas Island Test Veterans Computer Records

EDM number 987 in 1995-96, proposed by Edward O'Hara on 11/06/1996.

That this House is aware that the health records of over 22,300 veterans of the Woomera and Christmas Island atom bomb tests are held on a 72 megabyte database at the National Radiological Protection Board in Didcot; notes with concern that this database is in danger of being deleted unless the Ministry of Defence meets the NRPB's request to fund the costs of maintaining it in the next financial year; believes that research cannot yet be regarded as concluded into the effects of radiation on the health and life expectancy of these veterans; and therefore calls upon Her Majesty's Government to ensure that future research is not irrevocably damaged by the loss of the database.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
