A former minister has claimed that the Ministry of Defence withheld information contained in the records of veterans who oversaw nuclear tests during the Cold War.
The veterans have said that their involvement in the tests caused them lifelong health problems. The allegation centres on whether relevant information about their records was withheld by the Ministry of Defence.
No further details are available in the supplied material about the information allegedly withheld, when it was withheld or how the Ministry of Defence has responded. The latest position is that the former minister’s claim and the veterans’ health concerns remain at the centre of the dispute.
