The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will meet nuclear test veterans to discuss compensation.

Answered by Al Carns

I am committed to regularly meeting with veterans to learn about their experiences and understand how the Government can provide the right support to them.

This is a Government of service that will always stand up for those who serve our country. I have already met with parliamentary colleagues and representatives of the nuclear test veteran community. I remain committed to continuing that engagement to thank nuclear test veterans for their service and to further understand their current concerns.
