Veterans: Radiation Exposure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the anticipated total cost of compensation for legal claims brought by Nuclear Test Veterans.
Answered by Al Carns
The claims from Nuclear Test Veterans are at the pre-action stage. It is for the Claimants’ legal representatives to formulate their case against the Ministry of Defence (MOD) in court should they wish to proceed. The MOD is not able to estimate the value of compensation claimed without an indication of the level of damages sought by the prospective Claimants.
