HC Deb 26 October 1995 vol 264 c777W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to commission a suitable national memorial to the British veterans of nuclear and atomic tests carried out since 1950; and if he will make a statement. [39221]

Mr. Soames

It has been a long-standing policy of successive Governments that the cost of such memorials is met from public subscription or private donations rather than from public funds.
