Inquest Verdict On Porton Down Victim (EDM71)

Inquest Verdict On Porton Down Victim

EDM number 71 in 2004-05, proposed by Paul Tyler on 23/11/2004.

This this House welcomes the verdict of the Wiltshire coroner that Ronald Maddison's death, caused by exposure to chemical warfare tests at the Porton Down government research establishment in 1953, was unlawful; urges the Secretary of State for Defence to examine the cases of other victims of these tests, including those from Cornwall and Devon, with a view to accepting claims for compensation from them and their families; calls for the release of all the evidence presented to the original secret inquest in 1953; and demands an early statement from the Secretary of State on the implications of this verdict for future Government policy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
