HC Deb 06 March 1957 vol 566 c53W
45. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Paymaster-General as representing the Lord President of the Council, if he will arrange for the publication of the most recent information available concerning the amount of radioactivity in the atmosphere consequent on the explosion of nuclear weapons.

Mr. Maudling

Since the publication last June of the Medical Research Council Report on "The Hazards to Man of Nuclear and Allied Radiations" the Atomic Energy Authority has published two Reports which include measurements and calculations concerning the amount of radioactivity in the atmosphere. I am arranging for copies of these Reports to be placed in the library. The Authority will issue further reports as additional information warrants publication.
