HC Deb 18 April 1983 vol 41 c44W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if the Government inquiry into the effects of the British nuclear test explosions in the Pacific in the 1950s will include the number of cataracts amongst service men who witnessed the explosions.

Mr. Pattie

No. Service men were not exposed to the radiation levels necessary to induce cataracts as a result of witnessing British atmospheric tests.
