REVIEW OF BRITISH NUCLEAR TEST VETERANS

Early day motion 637, tabled 12 May 1999 by Frank Cook (Labour). Signed by 52 members.

That this House applauds the decision of Her Majesty's Government to initiate in December 1997 a review of the causal factors related to the alleged Gulf War Syndrome and the physical state of the service personnel and civilians who allegedly suffer its ill effects; applauds the level of concern and degree of logic that led to this decision; expresses the hope that the results of this review will be published in the near future; and calls on the Secretary of State for Defence to apply the same measures of concern and logic to the equally pressing but longer running cause of the British nuclear test veterans.

Signatures by party: Labour 36, Liberal Democrat 9, Labour/Co-operative 3, UUP 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
