HC Deb 13 July 1999 vol 335 c99W
Mr. Keith Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for reassessing the National Radiological Protection Board's report of 1997 on the impact of radiation on British service personnel who participated in atomic weapons tests. [91013]

Mr. Spellar

I assume the hon. Member is referring to the report published by the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) in 1993, in which case I have no such plans: and nothing to add to my responses of 1 July 1999,Official Report, column 534, to the hon. Member for Portsmouth, South (Mr. Hancock), during the recent Armed Forces Personnel Debate and subsequently in writing. A copy of my letter of 7 July has been placed in the Library of the House.
