§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Prime Minister if she will take steps to have information as to those cases in which supplementary pensions have been refused to dependants of military personnel who served at British nuclear tests, after war pensions had been awarded them by the Department of Health and Social Security on grounds of injuries received during such service, together with the grounds for rejecting each of the Department of Health and Social Security findings, and a list of the persons from whom medical advice was taken, made available for the purposes of Her Majesty's Government's inquiry into the effects of British nuclear tests.
§ The Prime MinisterThere has been only one such case, which was explained by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for the Armed Forces on 1 February. I should have no objection to doing as the hon. Gentleman suggests if it would serve a useful purpose; but the survey that was announced on 12 January is a statistical study of mortality and the incidence of cancer, not a survey of full medical histories.
