HC Deb 14 May 1986 vol 97 c493W
Mr. Willie W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what follow-up monitoring and advice is being offered to the 70 British students who returned from Kiev and to other members of the public returning from eastern Europe.

Mr. Whitney

These students were carefully monitored on arrival. We are advised that the levels of radioactivity detected were such that there is no good medical reason for further monitoring. Although there is no need for further action, any student at all worried following return to this country and after arrival monitoring can consult their general practitioner.

Arrangements were made for people returning subsequently to be monitored at specific hospitals. It is not expected that they will need further monitoring, but should it be necessary the hospitals will be able to provide this.
