Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Health, as representing the Lord President of the Council, if he will make a statement on the advances of science to date towards assessing the danger to people in Britain and elsewhere caused by the testing of megaton weapons.

I would ask the hon. and learned Member to await the White Paper which is being prepared by a committee of the Medical Research Council on the medical aspects of nuclear radiation.
