HC Deb 03 February 1958 vol 581 c134W
80. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Health whether he will issue instructions to doctors and other responsible people as to what immediate action ought to be taken should an aeroplane carrying a hydrogen bomb crash and catch fire and especially what first-aid treatment should be applied to minimise the danger of the inhalation or ingestion of plutonium and uranium.

Mr. Walker-Smith

It has already been stated that the risk to which the hon. Member refers is infinitesimal and in those circumstances I do not think special medical instructions are called for.
