British Nuclear Test Veterans Recognition

EDM number 659 in 1998-99, proposed by Frank Cook on 18/05/1999.

That this House calls to mind the 15,000 servicemen and women who so selflessly allowed themselves to be exposed to nuclear radiation and blast at the test sites in Australia and the South Pacific; acknowledges the awesome scale of their commitment to the Crown in that they did this willingly and knowingly; deplores the fact that many individuals engaged directly in these fearful duties have service record documents that omit or obfuscate such active involvement; but nevertheless urges the Prime Minister to initiate and institute a service award recognising specifically the readiness of these sterling individuals to place themselves in jeopardy not only in conflict but also in peace.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
