HC Deb 16 December 1985 vol 89 cc95-6W
Mr. Harrison

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what health records his Department has kept of the 300 crewmen of the Polaris submarine HMS Resolution.

Mr. Lee

Comprehensive medical records are maintained for all nuclear submariners throughout their service career. In addition the defence radiological protection service maintains permanent radiation dose records for nuclear submariners whose jobs involves potential exposure to radioactivity, such as those working on the reactors of Polaris submarines. These radiation dose records are forwarded to the national registry for radiation workers run by the national radiological protection board.
