§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the National Radiological Protection Board has completed its register of former radiation workers; what proportion of such workers has been registered; and if selected groups of workers are being registered, how they are being selected.
§ Sir George YoungI understand from the National Radiological Protection Board that it has not completed its register of radiation workers who ceased employment before 1976. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and British Nuclear Fuels Limited are collecting data on their former workers and the board hopes to receive these within two years. It is intended that all former radiation workers whom it is practicable to trace should be registered.
