To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many former(a) Chatham and (b) other dockyard workers have received compensation due to possible radiation exposure through the no fault scheme. [84072]

No former Chatham or other dockyard workers have so far been awarded compensation for alleged exposure to radiation through the Compensation Scheme for Radiation Linked Diseases. Sixty cases (of which forty-two relate to former dockyard workers) are at various stages of investigation.
