Veterans: Radiation Exposure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to estimate the (a) cost of and (b) number of claimants in the legal action launched by nuclear veterans in March 2024.
Answered by Al Carns
To date, claims have been received from five individuals, identified by their solicitors as the representative claimants. The claimants’ solicitors have indicated that there is a wider pool of claimants including family members that are alleged to have been affected. With only limited information currently available, it is not possible to estimate either the cost of or number of claimants.
