§ Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domerasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Bach on 14 January (WA 87–88), how many United Kingdom Armed Forces personnel have been tested for total uranium in their urine; how many have had a follow-up isotope test; and what were the results of the follow-up tests. [HL2570]
§ Lord BachAs at 29 April 2004, 290 test results had been received. Because of lower than expected demand for the testing, it has been possible to offer the total uranium test followed by the isotope test to all applicants. Detailed results are medically confidential. However, only a very small number of individuals have been found to have depleted uranium in their urine and all of these received injuries in "blue-on-blue" incidents. Only natural uranium was present in all the other samples.
